I hope you will talk to your onc about what some of the women suggested -- different infusion, stronger premeds. I have asthma and allergies and I understand the concern about allergic reactions. But I think each Herceptin we take benefits us. You've had the benefit of one infusion. Maybe you can get in a few more. You can always try a second opinion.
