TAC Reaction Question

I had my first TAC chemo treatment yesterday. All went pretty well. This morning my chest and left breast are a bright red, warm to the touch, almost like a sunburn. Can anyone tell me if this is a normal reaction, or not?

Thanks,
Carla

    TAC
    It could possibly be an alergic reaction. I would call the doctor and tell her whats going on.

    I don't know, I never had it. Better call your oncologist and let us know what you find out.

    Good luck!
