Headaches on doxataxal

Did anyone get quite bad headaches on doxataxal? I had my first dose just over 2 weeks ago, the headaches only started a week ago the other side effects I had came and went quite quickly.
The headaches can be pretty intense I have been managing to keep on going with them, but only with quite a lot of pain killers!
Would be interested to hear from anyone else- i’m also having herceptin too.
