Hello,
I am on pembrolizumab and lenvatinib for inoperable kidney cancer.
For the past fortnight I have experienced headaches in the back of my head. They vary in intensity and are sometimes hardly noticeable.
I called the hospital 24 hour number last week about them. After questioning me they advised me to book an appointment with a GP and to stop the lenvatinib.
I saw the GP last Thursday. He checked my balance and co-ordination. He found that my left shoulder and neck were quite stiff and concluded that this was probably causing the headaches. My fear is of a brain tumour but he dismissed this as I hadn't had fits or experienced numbness. I hope he's right. I had experienced dizziness that morning when bending my head to wash my hair which I told him.
I don't know whether it's worth contacting the hospital again as I feel that I will just be sent round in circles and told to go back to the GP who will probably still have the same opinion.
