Harrie, I just had my 4th Herceptin one week after my last Taxol. So far Herc does not seem to bother me too much. When I had it with the Taxols I got Benadryl but the two times I've had Herc alone, the Herc was given alone. The first sole infusion, I had a rash on my shins but it went away by morning. This time I developed a rash on my hands, but I took Benadryl myself at home and it was gone overnight. I did notice a mild drippy nose, and I was pretty fatigued in the afternoon, but otherwise I'm fine and expect to do well. Compared to AC and Taxol, it has got to be a walk in the park! BTW, I also appreciate this thread as the other one seemed so dire. It's great to know there are plenty of us who tolerate the drug well. - Skye
