I was curious about cellulitis and I have not heard of it and when reading about what causes it I got a little concerned. A lowered immune system is listed as one of the possible causes. I experienced an unexplained staph infection in my port. My Onc wonders if they will discover that Herceptin is causing weakened immune systems in us and thereby opening the door to all kinds of infections. Just something I have been thinking about. So sorry you had this experience and hope that you don't go through this again!
