Tamara -
I have had 11 out of 17 Herceptin infusions - the edema was worse in the beginning for me - mainly my left leg, ankle and foot. They sent me for an ultrasound on 3 different occasions to make sure it was not a blood clot (it wasn't). My onc. put me on a mild diuretic that I take most days and it has improved immensely.
But as the others have stated - this is not whining - you are on serious medication and these things must be in your records and brought to your onc.'s attention.
all the best
caya
