Re: Pictures of Herceptin Rash

I had something similar when I first started Herceptin. I had to take some steriods to help with it. It did go away and then it never came back again the rest of the time I was on Herceptin.

Re: Pictures of Herceptin Rash

Thanks both of you. I went in today because of the itch. I was given steroids, benadryl, and zantac via IV. I was also given a medrol pack of steroids to take for a week. I'm going in on Friday to get my rash checked to see if it is helping. I'm supposed to be getting a treatment again Friday, but have requester to wait until next week so I can get through the holidays and not worry about possibly having to go to a different hospital since we are traveling.

Thanks for the information. I will try to stay ahead on the benadryl to see if that will help the rash disappear.

You can say a prayer that on Friday or next week that I won't have any more break outs. I can handle pain of rash on the parts of my body now, but don't want the other possible side effects like swollen glands or difficulty breathing. Then again, really, I want the rash to go away if I'm truly honest.

Thanks for your support.
