Her 2 ladies can you offer any desperately needed advice?

Hi ladies  I have a huge dilemma.  As anyone who has read my posts I am on herceptin and perjeta for ever.  Unfortunately I have down the past 10 months suffered terribly with a severe skin reaction....

Hi Sam 
i was on same treatment and suffered unbearably itchy arms. In June last year the cancer metastasised in my brain. Long story short. I was on steroids as part of the brain radiation treatment. The itchies subsequently lessened and then disappeared after about six weeks on steroids. No longer on steroids or herceptin or perjeta.
Not sure if that was the reason but it could be worth asking the question. All the best
