Thanks everyone for your well wishes. Here is an update of my day. I'm off herceptin until further notice. My rash is continuing to itch and burn. I was sent to allergist again today. He put me on stronger steroids, hydrocort, and two other meds. I meet with him again next Friday to see if those meds have helped at all.

I also met with radiologist and see him again next Tuesday.

I'm okay with the decision to stop right now. I don't think I could take any more breakouts. The rash continues to climb up my neck.

Praying another week will help clear it up some if not all.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone.
