Hi Vicky

I'm not on Herceptin and haven't had chemo (Just lumpectomy and rads). I am on tamoxifen though and this has caused me to have really itchy skin. I scratch myself red raw sometimes. I have found that whilst I can't get rid of the problem completely I can lessen it by moisturising my skin a lot - the drier it gets the worse the problem.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

love bjj
