I have decided that one cannot tell what side effects are from which drugs. After working with an allergist and starting steroids and antihistamines, I figured out what gave me my skin reaction. I broke out an hour after they placed heparin in my port. It may not have been the Herceptin after all. So if there is anyone out there that is having similar issues, please don't right away focus on one med. Thanks for all of your responses. Two RADS left and then 6 more months of Herceptin.
