Headaches, including those on the top of the head, can indeed be a side effect that some people experience during chemotherapy treatment. Many others in this community have shared similar experiences with various types of headaches during their cancer journey, so you're definitely not alone in wondering about this connection. It would be helpful to mention this symptom to your healthcare team so they can provide guidance specific to your treatment plan and help you find ways to manage any discomfort you're experiencing.

Yes I have. I normally take what the doctors prescribed for me to help with it.

Yes. After my loading dose. It was miserable. I used an ice pack and Norco. No headache after 1st treatment so I am convinced it was the massive level of chemo.

Yes I’ve had several such headaches. Usually on the right side. I’ve talked with my provider about it but no real answers
