If you have not had an MRI of your brain and the headaches continue.
I would ask for one. I am finishing herceptin on Nov 21 and my neck and
back of my head were hurting. I had a bone scan which was inconclusive
and then an MRI of my neck and back of the brain. It was negative and the scan showed arthritis.
