Swollen Ankles ?
Last week, before starting my radiation yesterday, we took off for a short Las Vegas vacation and no sooner did I get there did I experience extreme swollen ankles. Prior to leaving, I had 3 weekly Herceptin treatments. The first one was full dose and the next 2 were half doses. I called my onc the day we got there and he prescribed a 5day dose of dieurectics and that solved the issue. Does anyone know if herceptin can cause swollen ankles and if so what did you do? I had no other symptoms at all such as shortness of breathe or chest pains. My next treatment is Sept 21 and I will now be on a 3 week schedule. Should I be concerned?
