Rash
Did anyone get a rash when they stopped Herceptin?
I did get a rash with my first dose of Taxol/herceptin last May. I had to stop herceptin due to low EF earlier this month. I normally would have received a weekly dose on April 3rd. On the 5th, the rash started.
I have not tried any new soaps, lotions, medications. makeup, fabric softener, etc. I haven't worn any new clothes without washing first. The only change is no herceptin.
The strange thing is that last December I also took a week off over the holidays and got the same type of rash. Only not nearly as bad. I am also fully aware that it could be entirely coincidental. I see my PCP today and hopefully she can give me something to get rid of this before it encompasses my entire body.
