I do remember when I was having chemo, experiencing terrible headaches. I am sorry to hear you are suffering with them too. I did call the chemo ward (you should have a number that you can contact them), to ask if I could take anything, because of having to monitor body temperature, pain meds can mask if anything is wrong. I was told what I could take. I would suggest you call them and let them know about the headaches and they will advise you. I do understand, it's really horrible when you are trying to get through all the other chemo stuff, headaches just make things worse.
Well done for getting through no 3, how many still to go, how are you getting on with the treatment?

Hi @Tvc
Did you find anything to help with the headaches you are having? Did you contact the chemo nursing team?
I hope they have reduced for you.
