All in my head
Onco says Herceptin does not cause side effects even though the manufacturers of herceptin says it can. So, the peripheral neuropathy, sore throat, itchy rash, ridged and cracked nails, breathlessness...

Hi @Blossom1961,
This is the rash I keep getting on my knees and fore arms. All in my head too apparently. It started on Taxol, I had to take prednisilone the whole way through to keep it under control. It now reappears every month or so (2yrs since taxol nearly). According to onc it's now not from chemo as it has been too long he says. Strange that I never had it before and it reappears in exactly the same spots. I buy dermaid cream from the chemist which is low dose cortisone (1%). It kills it fast but it goes a bit flaky first then disappears until the next time. Appears cancer makes us stupid and totally unaware of what is normal for our bodies before all this crap.
