Re: headaces after wbr?
Hi Pam i saw my Onc last week. I had the same problems as you. He told me as long as the headache does not stay in one spot it is nothing to be concerned about and the radiation is still working. The radiation seems to continue for a couple of months. I also find if i have a big rest the headaches go.
The other side effect with the ear is called ear plug from the radiation and that should disappear soon. This is from a build up of wax in the inner ear that goes hard from the radiation.
I use 100% Aleo Vera on my scalp and its good now.
I'm not sure when my next scan is, I hope its soon. The other thing I've been told is I can't drive for three years which seems excessive to me. I've got two you children to drive around - not sure what to do about that?
Hope head aches improve
Regards Jacqui
