Kidney issues -anyone else?

[momo]

Glad I found this post. I have been complaining about peeing excessively especially during the night, but Onc. just looks blank and won't admit to it being chemo damage of bladder (finished 6 months ago) or Herceptin (had 5 sessions).

I still feel uncomfortable even when I have just been to the bathroom. Not pain - just irritated. GP said probably infection, but anti-biotics did nothing. I have had a pelvic scan which was clear.

I have also been very tired, and constantly yawning (as if I'm not getting enough oxygen to brain), feeling brain dead and unable to concentrate.

A search on kidney symptoms brought this up "Healthy kidneys make a hormone called erythropoietin that tells your body to make oxygen-carrying red blood cells. As the kidneys fail, they make less erythropoietin. With fewer red blood cells to carry oxygen, your muscles and brain become tired very quickly. This condition is called anemia, and it can be treated."

It also said frequent urination and other stuff.

Also read that Herceptin can damage kidneys.

So, I will go to my GP and get a blood test as my Onc. would not do one.
