I was on taxotere carbo herceptin for a year. Initially, I too started having red itchy hands and actually developed hives. I think at one point I got short of breath too. But I wanted to stay on the carbo because I too was having a good response. So this is what we did, the doc slightly lowered the dose, diluted it in more fluid. I took claritin an hour before chemo and he gave me the decadron for the taxotere IV an hour before the carbo. All these things worked and I stopped having the hives and was able to stay on carbo for another 8 months.
