Re: T-DM1 Trials
Hi Emelie
Glad you have got some good news about t-dm1 trials.
I had a bright red rash just as you have described whilst on taxotere and herceptin. It was Chelee in fact that responded and said the same thing had happened to her.
My onc also wondered if it was the steroids but I am convinced it was the taxane.I tried numerous things including cold compresses and a mild steroid cream but they didn't work. Eventually I realised that the sun was a trigger so I avoided it as much as possible and wore a very high factor sun cream and secondly bought a anti histamine cream from the pharmacy which really calmed it down.
Mine was so noticable that people thought i'd been burned and I thought it would never go! Once I stopped taxotere it gradually faded away.
One interesting thing was I didn't take the steroid before my last dose but still got the rash, that's what convinces me it was taxotere rather than the steroid.
Hope this is some help.
Ellie
