Hello
Has anyone on Phesgo (trasuzumab and pertuzumab) had a large rash around the injection site?
What did your chemo team do about it?
Thanks
I'm 5' 2"... But a good 12 stone with thunder thighs. LOL. My redness was definitely bigger.
THANK YOU

I love you all, everyone who has replied to me on this thread
I am no longer worried about the Phesgo rash, and this is a huge thing for me following the nightmare anaphylaxis I had from Paclitaxel day before yesterday.

Oh yeah it’s a big mark, I’m 5ft 6 and 10 stone and it takes up pretty much the whole of the side of the thigh that it’s gone into, it’s also slightly raised for a day or so, I’m sure you’re describing the same thing, it is alarming definitely but I think it’s ‘normal’ whatever the hell that is these days!!!!

Thank you Anna, that is incredibly reassuring.
I wonder why they don't tell us beforehand. It would prevent unnecessary worrying wouldn't it. Thank goodness for this forum and the lovely people here xxx
