Re: Cyclophosphamide

Thanks for all the replies ladies much appreciated. When the nurse started administering this drug she said I MAY have like a slurpee head freeze type headache and to let them know next time as they can slow the drip down. The headache did not start until about 1 1/2 hours after I left the hospital. It took 45 minutes for them to administer this drug this time so maybe next time if it takes longer I will not suffer so much. It was definately more like a migraine than brain freeze and lasted one heck of a long time. Other than that I am doing well, a little nausea but nothing significant and my self injection of Neulasta went well.
