Hives during chemo and other side effects
I experienced hives on 14th day of 3rd TC cycle. Doctor thinks cause is due to food or skin product. I just want to know if anyone has got similar rash during chemo. Also , is stammering or stuttering a chemo or anxiety side effect.

@matcha_pocky I had a similar experience after my first treatment with docetaxol, traztuzamab (Herceptin) and pertuzamab (Perjeta). I got a rash or hives all over my chest. It was not itchy or burning, completely asymptomatic other than the red marks. I was given a topical cream to put on it to help reduce it. For the next treatment, they reduced to docetaxol dose slightly and it didn’t appear again. They suspected I was slightly sensitive to the chemo drug.
Make sure you report it to your doctor. I hope you’re able to identify what’s causing the hives for you. Good luck!
