Cathy Price Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I have been dealing with headaches since my chemo stopped and I am only on Keytruda now. I believe it's from that, and would like to know if anyone else has experienced it. Thank you LouT and Livin Life 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen_L Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 @Cathy Price I wouldn't know if it's due to Keytruda. I have read that there can be effects from chemo even after the treatment is done. Did you have a baseline MRI during your diagnosis process? I'd suggest calling and seeing what your team thinks.They'd probably have suggestions about how you can deal with the headaches. And, given that lung cancer likes to travel to other parts of the body, headaches are important information for them to have.

edivebuddy Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 In sitting hear finishing year 4 of keytruda. No headaches from it. Did you get headaches while on chemo? It could be chemical withdrawal from steroids or the anti nausea meds. I can't remember back that far for when I stopped chemo. Make sure you talk to the doctor about this and any new symptoms you might have no matter how trivial they may seem. I've heard good things about acupuncture. Might consider that. Some insurance will not cover it . LouT and Livin Life 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
