Sorry to hear about your side effects.I all so had pain in my legs ,started with my feet and ankles swelling up and because you they don't test your blood very time you have the drug it got worse and when i mentioned what was going on the oncologist said "My feet swell up at the end of the day " (She was a quite a heavy doctor) and then said to all the women "your blood pressure are all up today" another side effect .This was near the second last treatment. I ended up having to go to my doctor .and when he saw the swellling in my legs and feet sent me to A&E incase the fluid was going into my lungs as that came back that it wasent I came back home and then after another 6 days the pain and swelling got that bad I couldn't walk so back up to see my GP he sent me back down to A&E Was admitted for a week because I had that much fluid in my body I ended up with kidney disease.Ended up in Renal seeing a consultant and put on a drug for people that has kiddney transplants and long term steroids that have side effects. Just finished haveing to get check up last year. ..I'm now free of Edema and the drugs ....I stated my treatment for breast cancer on February 2007 first Cemo , Radio, Hersepiton.Got the all clear for the breast cancer and the kiddney has got back to normal again but it has been a long hog .Don't think my body could tolerate all the treatments and my Kiddneys suffered ...The kiddney specialist put a yellow or red flag warning for the Herseption drug .Put never comitted saying it was that that caused the kiddney Disease .I sopose my cancer hasen't returned .So I have that to be thankful for......Thoughts and prayers for you all that are going thru treatments .just a warning if you think something is wrong with your body like my legs swelling up and it took my GP to send me to A&E for my Oededma not my onchologis.
