Susan, I too have been having headaches for over 2 months. I wrote a thread very similar to yours several weeks ago. Some days are worst than others. They often start in the back of my neck...like a tension headache. Today, the frontal part of my head throbbed. My Onc thinks I am a trooper, but is hard not to feel like you're being a "whiney butt" some times so I know how you feel. (Growing up, my Dad use to tell us "to die quietly," and we did. Based on everybody's advise, however, I will again tell my Oncologist about my headaches. Next appointment after that will be with my eye doc.
