Tykerb rash

[Barbara H.]

Starting tomorrow I will have been on Tykerb and Herceptin for one week. I take four tablets each day in the morning. For the past few days I have developed a rash on my face, neck, and chest. My nose is all red like I have a cold. It is not acne. It looks more like a rash, except the red dots are slightly larger than a rash. How long does it last?

I have been careful about what I am eating and have not developed diarrhea yet. I also feel fine and am not fatigued.

I apologize for posting here instead of on the Herceptin/Tykerb section, but I feel as if I need some help, and thought that more of you might read it here. I have been putting Aquaphor on and around my nose which helps the dryness.

Thanks,
Barbara H.
