hi Tracey,
In my bc journey, I would have to say the worst part of it is the side effects but even worse than that is the oncologists dumb looks when it comes to side effects from this drug.
I found this article which talks about swollen face and tongue. It is an interesting article compiled from many toxicity research studies on patients.
Im experiencing watery eyes, swollen body all over and chest tightness and not one oncologist who thinks its side effects of the drug. It's a wonderful healing drug but the after effects can be long standing.

I hope you get heard soon.
cheers
