Morning,
Having started large dose of chemo on Tuesday, i hadnt been too bad until last night. Just before falling asleep i had dreadful pains in my head. I dont get many headaches and nothing ever as frightening as this. Had to get emergency advice. They think dehydration, i had a few tests done. Im drinking loads today but if anyone has similar experience it would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sue.
Hi Sue CurlySue123. It is not uncommon to have headaches or any other strange after effects of chemo. As you have been told, dehydration is common and you need to drink about 2 litres of water during the day. Mild headache tablets also help, but if things don't get better or get worse, you should have a contact number on your chemo record to call. Best wishes.
