Bev'sSister Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Is this normal? She just called and said she had a headache all night. She had her first PCI yesterday. Does anyone know how long the headaches last? Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Bobby i can not speak for anyone else but my Wife after her radiation to the head never got rid of her headaches.Some day's of course were better than other's but she described them later on as a constant headache in the back ground.....

teriw Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Hi Bobby, Bill didn't have PCI, but when he did the whole brain radiation, I don't recall him having any headaches. If he did, they weren't bad enough to comment on. Did she tell the doctor yesterday? Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laban Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Bill didn't have a headache with PCI. Have you asked Dr West about her headaches and if that was normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscherer Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 OK call this a coincidence but.............my mom had a headache the day after she started her PCI. We asked her Dr and he said it wasn't from the treatment, to early for that. We thought maybe nerves or allergies. As her treatment progressed the headache was gone. SHe has her last treatment on Monday. Hope the headache subsides quickly! Prayers for success, Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev'sSister Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Thank you all for your replies. Her headache has subsided somewhat, but it still comes around. Dr. West said this is normal for about 50% of people having PCI's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
