Headaches

I’m 10 months into treatment, Lupron, Ibrance and Letrazole. And I’ve had a consistent headache for two weeks. My onc ordered a brain scan. In the meantime, I’ve tried OTC pain relievers, sinus decongestants, Neurofeedback. I get some temporary relief but nothing lasting. Any suggestions?

Take a maxalon tablet, (needs to be prescribed, for nausea) and 20 mins later take two Ibuprofen or Asprin. I used to get terrible migraines. One doctor helped me out, out of soooooo many who couldn’t. She suggested I try this. And it worked. It prepares the stomach lining for the nurofen to enter the system or some such thing. But it works. Good luck. I get headaches all the time, and if it’s a bad one this is the only thing that works for me.

I'd love to know how/if it helps you. Sometimes, I only have to take the Maxalon, and I feel better.

I just started getting this. I’m on Ibrance and in the bottom side of my neck I can hardly turn and I have a headache. It only happened this round of Ibrance. Feels sinus like.
