Strange Headache—help

Hey, everyone. Over the last month and a half I have had this strange mild headache come and go. I didn’t think much of it because I got in a car accident a couple months ago that gave me minor whiplash, so I figured that explained the headaches. I’m otherwise not prone to them in general.

Last week I got my first of 12 weekly Taxol appointments. This week the headache has become constant and gotten worse. It is in my forehead and behind my eyes. It hurts to move my eyes and has slightly blurred the vision in my left eye.

As you know, it’s hard not to worry any little symptom is mets, but it is mildly concerning just bc it hasn’t gone away.

Is this something you’ve experienced with Taxol? What about with zoladex injections bc I also got that last week?

I go in for another round of chemo today and also see the nurse practitioner, so I’ll mention it to her and get her thoughts. When I had a PET scan in September all was clear, but I know that’s not the best tool for detecting Brain Mets.

I just can’t decide if I should be worried about this or not.

Any thoughts/experiences
