I've been on Pazopanib/ votrient for 3 years now. I have mets to my lungs, but over the past few weeks I've been getting ongoing headaches that radiate to my left eye. It's even gotten to the point of it being painful to touch the top of my head. I've taken paracetamol and had plenty of rest... it just won't budge. Has anyone else experienced this? Starting to get extremely worried.

    Have you spoken with your doctor who issued the drugs? You simply have to do that.

    I can't take paracetamol and use codeine instead. You can get different strengths of the tablets. For me they are a miracle worker.

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
