The hand and foot pain is most likely from Taxol. This is a well known Taxol side effect. The rash could be from either drug. The emulsifier used in the Taxol formulation is very allergic (to almost the whole population) and I did chemo then did Herceptin so I am not doing it together. I got hives (head to toe for a couple of days) from Taxol but I did not get a rash from Herceptin.
However, Herceptin can cause allergic reactions too but it is not one of the most common side effects as it clearly is with Taxol. I hope this helps. This is just how I experienced these drugs (and I still have 6 months of Herceptin to go).
Warm regards,
Becky
