I finished Herceptin & Perjeta on 1st March & was told the itch should start to subside - it has worsened significantly. I take 2 antihistamines, dexmethasone. Apply novasone, moo goo msm cream & ice packs. I'm waiting to hear from oncologist or breast care nurse as nothing is controlling it & i am scratching until I bleed. It's horrible
