have you tried steroids
They give me steroids the day before treatment, during treatment and the day after treatment. It really has helped me but I hate the weight gain from them. I am going to try herceptin tomorrow without bendryl because the bendryl has started making me so hyper that I can't even sit still in the chair after they give it too me.
Hope you are feeling better soon.
