I’ve just had my first treatment of paclitaxel and herceptin yesterday - today my face is very flushed. Had anyone else experienced this please ?

Hello Paradelady
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing some side effects after your first round of treatment yesterday. It's worth giving the chemo line a call just to double-check that they are happy the face flushing isn't a mild allergy. Hopefully, they will be able to give you some reassurance to put your mind at ease.
Best wishes,

I am also struggling with this at the moment. Flushed face and rash for three weeks. Antihistamines aren’t touching it. I use gallons of moisturiser to ease the discomfort but I’m resigned to this staying until I finish in 5 weeks. Any advice from anyone that’s found a solution would be great!
Hi - hope you get some relief soon. Fortunately mine only lasted for 1 day but I’m expecting it to happen again after my next treatment
Ah that’s good to hear - I hope it stays settled for you
