cmf and headaches

Hi All,

Not been on here for a while thought i was coping ok. finished 4x epi and just started 4 x CMF this lunchtime. but i have had a bad headache from about 2 hours after treatment. is this normal as it doesn’t mention it in the cmf leaflet they gave me.

any suggestions ! ( don’t want to ring chemo nurse yet )

Hi mandy

Headaches are very normal if they are not persistant and go away after you take some tablets.Most of the time they are because you are anxious in some way or other.go to bed try and have good nights sleep.My name is lisa and its nearly 3 yrs since i was dx but i remember it as though it was yest.I had CMF first (i think)there goes my chemo brain again.Try not to worry it will only make you worse.Off to bed now up early in the morn.

I used to get migraines after epi - lasting several days - stinking headaches, couldn’t stand light, noise, felt sick - was sometimes sick etc

don’t get this on TAX

perhaps epi suted you better than the cmf???

just a thought …
hope you feel better soon - only 3 to go
lots of love FizBix xxx
