Hi Ravel I too have headaches a lot of the time. I never had them before BC unless I had drunk too much wine or was coming down with a cold. Now they are a regular occurrence, but I don’t know if it’s tamoxifen or Herceptin or some long acting side effect of chemo. Onc claims latter don’t exist, but my eyelashes just fell out today (for the THIRD time!) so I think they do. I tend to drink some water & live with them, rather than take an ibuprofen, because I just feel my body has been bombarded with drugs in the past 12 months & really needs a break now. Hope yours aren’t stopping you enjoying life xx
