Ooops!
Sorry, Snoopy/MCS & Bubbles Mom,
In my post I meant to say that my cancer clinic offers Benadryl along with
two Tylenol as pre-meds to Herceptin and that they want everyone to take
the Benedryl for at least the first two or three times to ensure that there are no reactions........what I meant to say was that after my 3rd dose, I will elect not to take the Benadryl and instead I typed Herceptin. Believe me I will take the Herceptin for as long as it is recommended.
The reason I will try to take the dose of Herceptin without the Benadryl is because I heard that Benadryl weakens the effectiveness of the Herceptin.
I should also add that although my hair is coming in just fine, my fingernails are in a poor state as I got bumps and ridges, splitting ends etc., with the chemo and they still have not recovered - I think perhaps the bumps are growing out. My nails look as though I bite them and some kind soul gave me
a gift certificate for a manicure and pedicure for Christmas.....I think it will
be awhile before I can use it.
Cheers!
Joan
