Hey Vanessa, good luck with this not progressing any "allergicer" (how's THAT for a "texas-ism" (*laugh*).
I've been lucky with my Herceptin in that we've even discontinued using the Benedryl as a pre-med. I haven't had ANY allergic reaction to the Herceptin. (Now if my next MUGA scan doesn't go any lower, I'll be good to continue).
How long have you been getting the Herceptin? Have you always had a minor allergic reaction to it or have you been fine until now?
Janet
