I find this post very interesting. Although I don't understand much of the article I know that I seem to have trouble with anything "foreign" going into my body since chemo/herceptin.
Before chemo/herceptin I could ingest anything with no problems whatsoever. Now, though..............forget about it. I now seem to get hives and/or swelling to some antibiotics and to contrast dye used for a CT I had. I was just given Clindamycin for a bacterial/yeast vaginal infection and after 2 pills had broken out in a rash/hives. I discontinued using the antibiotic and by day 3 had a swollen face and itchy neck and shoulders. It's scary really as I am terrified to take anything.
So, is it because of the chemo/herceptin? I'd have to say yes because I didn't react this way before.
