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
