I do have a headache and am aching through the back of my head and shoulders - i had this yesterday and some of the achiness started on the weekend so im thinking its from stress and the anxiety so hope it goes away with regular Tylenol doses.
I would mention the headache to your oncologist. I was receiving Aloxi for nausea during infusion. I'd have a pretty bad headache for a couple of days, so we switched to Emend during infusion. No more headaches.
I had infusion yesterday and am at home with the 46 hour 5FU pump. I feel pretty good today, but won't feel so great on Thursday after Wednesday disconnect. Then I'm usually OK until the middle of the second off week when nausea pops up. I take the anti-nausea Zofran, but that causes constipation - which causes nausea after the pill wears off. I'm going to double up on the Miralax to prevent the constipation.
Each person feels somewhat differently. I hope things go easy for you. Switching to a Wednesday chemo day might turn out to be a good idea.
Good luck,
Sally
