Hi @bettty45 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm sorry to hear about the challenging journey you've had with headaches. Thank you for sharing some of what has helped you over that time.
Depending on the types of cancer you've had, you might consider following one of the Mayo Clinic Connect support groups for that cancer. See the full list of groups https://connect.mayoclinic.org/groups/. I'm sure others could benefit from the wisdom you've picked up along the way.
Did your doctor think there was a connection between your chemo and your beginning to get headaches, or did they think that was just coincidental?
