I had intense itching in my stomach area, but it occurred several months after I stopped the Taxol, but while still on Herceptin. I was also taking Lyrica for the Neuropathy, and I quit taking that not knowing from where the itching was coming from. My Onc was stumped as well. Did you have a rash. I had intense itching in the mid section, but no rash. I am still on the Herceptin, and the itching did eventually go away.
