Herceptin side effects

Last reply: 22 June 2023 09:34

Hello, I had chemo and radiotherapy last year, am currently on Tamoxifen. I finished herceptin injections at the end of April. During treated I had a few little red dots on the ankles, but now they are almost up to the knee. And I am not sure if I just not noticed them before or if it has gotten worse. Is that something I should worry about? Should I contact breast nurse?

Hi libra1975

I would contact your breast nurse if I were you. It's probably nothing to worry but it's best to get these things checked out.

Best wishes

Thanks Jenni, you are right. I don't know why I am always reluctant to give them a call.
