You are in my prayers! Take heart - Lisa also had issues with her loading dose of Herceptin - without going into details - she ended up in ICU at the hospital because of these ractions - BUT - she was able to overcome these issues and receive Hercptin weekly for the last three years.

They started her with Benadryl and gradually lessened it and eventually (at her request) stopped all Benedryl associated with her Herceptin infusion. I am confident hat you will be able to recieve Herceptin and I will pray for your Onc and Onc nurses to have divine insight!

Love and Light
