Update on Paula/Cancer Fightin' Words

[Paula O]

Thanks for the encouragement, Caya. They were already running the loading dose very slowly when I had the reaction so the next one will be slower than slow after an additional pre-med..

Did anyone else here have body shaking/shivering/ chattering teeth with Herceptin? They called them "rigors". The nurse said that it was my immune system responding to the drug being reintroduced. My temp also went up. If yes, was it a one time event for you?
