  • Hi . Linda, good to know you have got the first one out of the way, but sorry to hear you are having headaches. Lots of water is the usual advice. You should have a chemo record book with a contact number in it. Always best to give them a ring for advice before taking ang painkillers. Hope you pick up soon. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

  • Could be worth trying menthol-based rubs eg Tiger balm that you put on your forehead. This did help someone else on here a while back. If any doubt check with pharmacist. Other than that, whatever distracts you, music, art, walks in fresh air, whatever you feel up to...Hope you feel better soon. Denby
