Re: Itchy rash-Herceptin?
Have any of you noticed an increase in the cells called eosinophils when they test your blood while you are on herceptin? It is a type of cell often increased when there is an "allergic" type reaction to a drug.
Again, I wish the drug companies would follow through on looking for, investigating and reporting adverse effects AFTER the drug has been approved.
Not that the drug should be stopped because of itchiness, but patients should be aware and maybe they will find out it is the benzoyl alcohol they mix with it and not the herceptin that causes the itchiness, just as it seems to cause joint pains in some patients
