Maria,

I had the rash on my lower back too. This is all scary. And it seems the more I read the scarier it gets. But it is better to be informed than not.

It seems my reaction was from the herceptin as others have had the same reaction. I guess it is not a common reaction though. It was gone by this Tuesday for the most part. So it lasted a week.

Let your doctor know everything, before I started chemo and had an orientation meeting with one of the onc nurses, she was sure to tell me to call them about anything, even a hang nail. I don't call on everything unless I think someone needs to know, but during chemo I was in there more than once a week so I told them when I was in the office.

Hope your doctor can calm your fears or send you for test to find out what is going on.
