Swelling

Subject: Swelling
Date: 07/04/2008

I  am  now seven months into cancer treatments.  I was on number 25 radiation treatment, chemo by tablet and Herceptin drip every three weeks.   I had to stop radiation treatments for a week as I am burned  under my arm and on the side of my breast.   My question is, I have started some leg swelling, mostly in one leg.  Sometimes, at night the leg is obviously bigger.  I had a sonigram to rule out blood clots, but it is still swelling.  On advise of the nurse, I took a lasix, which helped for a few days.  Anyone experienced this type of thing?  The doctors think it is my chemo tablet.

 Thanks
