rinaina, I was told by my onc that fluid retention was a potential side effect of herceptin. Fluid retention and hypertension tend to go together; this is why dieuretics are prescribed for high blood pressure treatment.I was told if I developed severe fluid retention, the onc would prescribe a dieuretic for me. No mention was ever made about having to discontinue herceptin based on fluid retention; I think this is considered a manageable side effect. Check in the recent thread in this forum about Herceptin and weight gain for another perspective on this. Best of luck to you.
Hopeful
