I continued with Herceptin despite many skin problems, sometimes open sores, feet nails falling off or disgustingly yellow, breaking nails, etc. I was way too scared to go off Herceptin, I believe it's why I'm alive 6 years after my recurrence with invasive bc. Calamine was the best thing for me and sometimes a cortisone spray - can't get the spray in Europe but cortisone can only be used for short periods of time. put heavy coats of calamine lotion on, unsightly but works...at least for me. I wouldn't quit Herceptin before they think you should, too risky in my opinion.
