I was doing herceptin/taxotere/carboplatinum weekly and over the last few weeks I noticed when the carbo went in I would feel a little strange. Then my hands started itching and turning bright red for a couple of weeks and, finally, this last time, my face blew up like a balloon and my whole body was red and splotchy. Then I started to get very hot and then got chills and shaking. They immediately stopped the infusion of carbo and everything went back to normal in about 15 minutes so, unfortunately, I guess that is the end of it for me. Just wondering if anyone else had ever had this experience and what they took in carbo's place. My onc is going to discuss options when I got back next week. Am very disappointed because I just got a good PET scan and am sure carbo had a lot to do with it. It's always something with this disease it seems.
