I had my first treatment of Herception last Wednesday and had a severe allergic reaction. Blood pressure & oxygen level dropped rapidly and I had difficulty breathing. I was given benedryl + steroids+ oxygen. It was very scary!. I could not breath or speak. I am really afraid to ever try it again. I am stage ! with Her2 no node involvement. I had 4 treatments of AC plus radiation and am on Arimidex. I am ER positive and thinking of quitting Herception but am also worried about a return of cancer. Don't know yet what the oncologist will suggest.
