Benadryl doesn't help much at all. My oncologist does know. We first wondered if it was the trial shingles vaccine that I signed up for. She tried to get them to unblind the test, but they said that I could be allergic to the placebo, the vaccine, or anything else. After last Friday's herceptin, I broke out even worse after a couple of hours.

I meet with her again on Friday to see if there are any premeds that I can take or if I am just finished taking herceptin. I have been on herceptin for 18 weeks. I'd love to find out more about the 9 weeks Finland trials to see what the survival rate is yet today.
