Decadron
I was shocked when they gave me decadron with Herceptin only. I asked to discontinue it after the loading dose. I have now had the benadryl reduced by half and plan to have no benadryl next infusion.
My liver doesn't need this. I find I easily tolerate Herceptin. I understand why decadron is necessary with chemo, but not Herceptin.
Herceptin can be hard on your heart and any steroid can cause heart problems too, so talk to your doc about the decadron.
Also maybe you need an occasional sleeping pill rather than bendaryl.
