Hi Jane,
I too have developed an itchy red skin rash at my incision for my port extending to entire left breast. This rash appears after each Herceptin treatment and lasts several weeks. Just in time for the next treatment; rash appears again. My chemo nurse and I thought it was the adhesive from the bandages used so we have tried several different ones; no luck. Maybe latex gloves ??? or Heprin? We don't have enough to concern ourselves with...Take Care. Let me know what you find out about this. Thanks.
