No premeds for herceptin only. Yeah! With taxol and herceptin did both benadryl and decadron. Benadryl gave me a wierd rush, heart palps, most people get tired. I could live w/o this. Decadron made my face flush for 3 days. I could eat for an hour and my rude stomach would growl thru the whole meal. Gained 10 # over 12 weeks. These drugs prevent adverse reactions to the chemo agents. Although I don't want an adverse reaction, I wish the docs would work to lower the dose of premeds during chemo. I think the premeds are worse than the chemo for some. BB
