Remember also, that itching...

is a sign of liver/bile problems...hope that is NOT what you are experiencing, but I suffered from that back in 2000...the itching was nearly unbearable...

I have never had ANY itching from herceptin. Also, look closely at any pain meds or patches you might be using ANYTHING with codone, codeine, hydromophone or morphine can make some people itch horribly. I am terribly allergic to codeine...itching is the lesser side effect..it is the swelling and closing of the throat that really gets you..but as I talk so much..most of my friends found it to be a WELCOME relief hee hee hee..only kidding..but no joke, I talk EVEN more and faster than I type..smile...

Hang in there but be sure to get your bile levels checked..just in case...so you can head off a potentially more serious problem than a mere allergy.

Take care,
Gina
Just a different take, Gina
