    Hello,

    I finished with the AC and now have completed 6 taxol/Herceptin treatments and a few weeks ago I developed a rash on the top of both of my hands, itchy and have fluid filled blisters, not sure if it is related to the Chemo or not....any one else had this problem????

    Trishd2007 - I just finished 12 weekly taxol/herceptin and during the last few weeks noticed a few blisters on my arms and hands.  I didn't notice any rash though.  I usually noticed them at the beginning of the week and by Friday when I had treatments they were gone so I forgot to ask about them! 

    Hopefully you'll find something out when you see your onc.

    Ask your Onc about this.  You could have had a reactin to one of the chemo meds.  I know that Taxol can cause this so be on the safe side and ask..Hugs..rosebud

    Thanks to all of you for the help

    I finished the Taxol on Dec 21 and now my hands are almost completely back to normal, so I guess it was the Taxol...glad that is over...now doing Herceptin every 3 weeks...
