Headache after docetaxel

[Flossie78]

Hey Hookiem, I'm a new member, I had my last docetaxel 11 December 2013 and it really affected my head and eyes weeks after I even had my eyes retested at the opticians and then my mind was running away with me and thought the worst but it definitely eased off by the march and I got awful bone pain too, tbh I didn't cope with the docetaxel at all it made me neutropenic all the time and gave me a real bad tummy but we all had a good Christmas which is what I wanted. I know it hinders you from doing day to day things but it does get better x

I had my last docetaxel 3 weeks ago and for the last 2 weeks I have had this funny headache, a constant slight throbbing and also my eyes are quite tired and it doesn't seem to shift even after taking paracetamols. I spoke to the nurse when I had my phone assessment she said to keep an eye on it but did not say whether it was one of the side effects. I find it is affecting me with doing day to day things and hard to concentrate. I have booked a doctor's appointment for tomorrow.  Has anyone else experienced this? if so how long did it last for. I know everyone is different.
