Her 2 ladies can you offer any desperately needed advice?
Hi ladies I have a huge dilemma. As anyone who has read my posts I am on herceptin and perjeta for ever. Unfortunately I have down the past 10 months suffered terribly with a severe skin reaction....
Are you able to take Zovirax at all? A few years ago my son suddenly seemed to become sensitive to most foods and he broke out in hives every single time he ate anything unless it was a white food. He was 14 at the time and ended up not going to school for over four months and he lost a lot of weight. Anyway the only thing that helped him was Zovirax. Instead of taking one each 24 hours, he was on them 4 hourly under orders from an immunologist. After seeing multiple specialists they finally found the problem was that his own immune system was attacking him and causing all the problems. A course of antibiotics fixed him thank goodness. This all took over 12 months. Perhaps you could ask if this is a viable option for you? All the very best to you xx Lesley
