Hi Laurie,
I experienced hemorrhoids while I was on Herceptin, they are awful!! Mine were not as bad as yours, but here's a tip that helped me:
Get some adult wipes from the drug store, and pour some witch hazel (the regular kind, not the medicated kind) about 1/2 bottle, into the container to soak through the wipes. Use these after you go to the bathroom. I also found that doing warm sitz baths a few times/day really helped. I also had the prescription cream - I don't know if these suggestions will help, but they did give me some relief until they finally disappeared.
Good luck.
all the best
caya
