Speedlining the Herceptin
Hi Gin-Tx,
Yes, they gave the whole Herceptin dose in half an hour, with no Benadryl or Decadron. The first dose was given in an hour, after my Taxol, along with 50 mg. Benadryl and also the Decadron, so I didn't have near the reaction. Those rash areas have just turned into little pimple things, which are still somewhat itchy. And if my feet get hot at all they get terribly itchy which is something I've never experienced before. Anyway my next Herceptin will be with the Taxol again, and then alone after that. I'm still glad I can take the Herceptin however. It would just be nice to really be told all the possibilities ahead of time. Thanks for the encouragement, it so helps to have peers in all this. - Skye
