Hi, Doug! I am so glad you are feeling better...hopefully if you have a "bug" it will go away quickly, and if not that you get some better meds for the next round.
As for the acne--I was NEVER told that Herceptin could cause that! I was actually never told what was causing it. I have always had pretty good skin (as an adult, of course I went through the puberty awful acne), and was pretty down about it, especially not having any hair to cover it up! It was only on my forehead. Does anyone know if Taxotere can cause it, too? I am still on Herceptin, but only get acne when I used to usually get it (cyclic acne).
Maybe I will ask this question in a new thread, as it is really of interest to me!
Take care,
