The report of the shards of glass in the lungs is concerning. Even though you are in an HMO I would DEMAND that you see a pulmonary specialist to review your films. Was this on both sides or just one and was your chest radiated? You need an experienced pulmonologist to look at this so they can clearly find the cause and you can move on.
I agree with everyone else, this onc sounds like he doesn't seem to care that much and is not thorough. Time to move on. Surely there must be another onc in the HMO.

Good luck!

(ps, was on herceptin for 3 1/2 years, never given benadryl. Was on weekly taxotere carbo, 3 weeks on 1 week off for a year. Early on had allergic reaction to carbo but would take claritin and decadron before infusion)
