Met with my Oncologist on Friday in conjunction with my Herceptin treatment. They checked my "bilirubin, and it was low which I was told is a good thing. Nobody can figure out why I itch other than to blame it on "stress." I have no visible rash. My mid-section itches above the bikinia line and below the breasts. The Onc told me to take Benadryl or Zurtek. It could be stress as I work full-time, and all that I work with think because I am back to work I can function at the same pace as a year ago.
Nicola, thank you for guiding me through the bloodwork testing. At least I know what it isn't.
It's a good thing I work with women so if I have a itch, I can scratch!
