That first post was from me, I didn't realized I wasn't logged in.

Thank you all for responding! And thanks Rhonda for the link!

I think I will print these out and show the onc nurses who actually deal with us on a day to day basis.

They did give me benedryl in the iv before the herceptin. But I don't want to take the benedryl all day and be passed out and only want to sleep the day away.

Does the reaction eventually go away or stop or does it occur with each infusion?
