Herceptin ??

I had my 2nd herceptin treatment last Tuesday and have very itchy skin on my neck and upper chest. It's not hives and not red unless I scratch it without thinking. Has this happened to anyone?
I also had my first of 35 radiation treatments last Monday. I asked the rad techs and they said it's not from the radiation because it's not on the breast.
Thanks for your input.

Sher,
I would talk to your oncologist.
I have been on Herceptin since May and I have never had a reaction--we all react differently.
Hugs,
Margo
It seems I've reacted differently to all the meds my oncologist has put me on. He talks about the reactions then finishes with "but you'll tell me how it works on you". One thing for sure I've kept him on his toes!
