I did 12 weekly Taxols, and had quite a rash on my hands and lower arms. Onc wasn't bothered at all, chemo nurses (always the best sources anyway) said "ah yes, Taxol rash" and suggested using small amounts of hydrocortisone cream. That helped, but it didn't really go away completely until end of Taxol. The immediate recognition by nurse made me sure this is something seen pretty often with Taxol. I'm on weekly Herceptin now and am not having any rash problems at all. Hope you get an answer and a fix for this soon! Jo
