Hello Anna, I'm very sorry to hear that you are experiencing these headaches; however it is difficult to say whether or not there is a connection between them and your previous cancer/cancer treatment. I would need to know the type of chemo that you were given; the exact time frame between chemo and the seizures (some types can reportedly cause seizures in rare cases); whether you were/are being treated for the seizures and how long it was between your last seizure and the onset of the cluster headaches. I am away now until 1 August, but feel free to give me a call on 020 8995 4781 when I'm back if you wish to discuss this further. Please bear in mind, however, that I am not medically qualified, and I recommend that you make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your symptoms. All the best, Delphine
