@Opoho The cortisone and antihistamine wasn't working for me. When did you stop the Perjeta? I haven't had the PN this time around but the herceptin caused it in 2018/19. I am very happy that it has eluded me this time around. I found a manual lymph drainage massage helped me but it doesn't work for everyone.
