Encorafinib & Cetuximab worst headache ever

Hi Dozer 

I definitely think your team would want to know about this right away . It does not always mean you stop treatment . My mum had a slight dose reduction and this helped considerably. Took a lot of her side effects away .

But I do think they like to make sure you are ok and would want to check you out . My mum was on Cetuximab for ten months and I know headaches can happen but at that level they will check you out .

It does suggest here the team want to know .

My mum had a few six week breaks due to side effects and they just sorted her out and back into treatment . They will have dealt with this a lot !

They even sent a remote nurse into the general hospital to report back to her oncology team and reassured her she would be back in business soon .

Let us know how you get on .

Hi Court, Thanks so much for your reply. I did call the triage line early hours this morning to report the headache and was advised if it didn’t lift by 9am I should go in. Lo and behold at 8 it shifted to my shoulders and melted away. So far it’s staying away thank goodness. Your mum’s story is incredible, what a brave lady! Thanks again for the advice, take care.

Great news Dozer . 
One thing we did observe with this type of treatment , the side effects seemed to take turns then subside. Each cycle was a different one but did not seemed to accumulate like chemo . 
Take care ,

Court
