Headaches - Worried about brain mets

[tricia keegan]

HI I've noticed I wake up with a really bad head ache about 2 days after my herceptin.It usually only lasta a little while though.I also have had bad back ache and like you worry about everything but have decided if the pain persists for more than 2 weeks I will have it checked or if painkillers have no effect.Otherwise I think I'll be spending every day having scans and tests!

Yes......a day or two after the herceptin infusion there are headaches....not severe but migraine like headaches that nothing seems to relieve. They are around for a few days and then gone until the next time. So thankful to have the herceptin and consider this just another of those little irritating things we learn to tolerate to beat the beast!!

So very glad that we have this very informative message board and all the information we share. Thank you one and all !!!! Thank you !!!!
