after almost 5 years on herceptin I had an allergic reaction ( began itching then vomiting and shaking). None of the doctors had ever seen this. I'M GLAD TO READ THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD IT AND SURVIVED SUBSEQUENT TREATMENTS! Dr. wants to premedicate me and run infusin more slowly - are there any upates on how the treatments have gone for those of you have had similar reactions? After many CT scans I developed an allergy to the contrast material also and had a very severe reaction even after pre-medication so i am quite worried about this but also hate to stop herceptin which has obviously helped me survive 4 recurrences.
Thanks to anyone who replies.
