Sorry :(

Kelly,
I am sorry that you are suffering so....
We all react so differently to these drugs. Maybe the day prior to treatment you can take some alieve for the body aches and of course the drinking of
water is very important. Maybe even eating lighter foods. The day of
herceptin treatment I choose to eat lighter this may help the nausea.

It is hard to pin point but maybe try different methods starting a day
or two prior to prepare your body. It sounds like you are more sensative
esp. in regards to your digestive system, maybe some organic brown
rice day of treatment with steamed veggies.

I have been experiencing strong itchy sensations which are very uncomfortable and I feel like I could scratch my skin off.

Hang in - there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Kind Regards,
Jean
