Once again, I developed a terrible headache ( the worst so far) as the day wore on yesterday. We paged the dr., and he said to take more decadron and just knock myself out with pain medication. It took a lot of medicine, but I eventually fell asleep and woke about midnight, and the headache was gone. I wish that I had known about the likelihood of bad headaches AFTER the radiation, but so it is. Thanks so much for your opinions, advice, and encouragement.
