Tamara, I'm not an expert, but I agree with Duchess Andrea, it's probably not the Herceptin. As she stated, try the paper tape, and like Gerri said, it could be the spray. I know Nikki always got a rash from the regular tape they use. Also, check your premeds, and check with your onc. and chemo. nurses. If you're only getting Herceptin, you don't need any steroid/Decadron. That will put on weight. Do you take any nausea meds? or Immodium? Maybe, if you haven't already, try the BRAT diet. Don't be reluctant to stress how bad these side effects are hitting you to your docs and nurses. Please stay strong and finish that Herceptin. Love and prayers, Bill
