Herceptin Severe allergic reaction

I was lucky to find this forum. I had the most horrible reaction to my first dose of Herceptin. I ended up in the Emergency room of my local hospital. The constant shaking and fever, high heart beat terrified me and my husband. They gave me Benydryl and fluids to rehydrate me and I feel much better today.
I had read through all your posts and am now better armed to tackle this question with my doctor. While I'm sure the doctor knows how to deal with severe reactions it will do no harm to have her understand that I too am now informed and have a few suggestions of my own
Thank you everyone on this board for posting and giving us Noobi's a little direction and support.
