I had similar side effects
Hi Jenben,
While I can't relate to the side effects in your head because I didn't have a brain tumor, I can relate to the other side effects you mentioned. My scalp also was very sore and tingly at times. I was told that can happen when you're about to lose hair. I never did lose my hair (as most people on chemos for colorectal cancer don't), but mine did thin a bit during that time that my scalp was sore. That could be what you're feeling, or it could be from the effects of the screws in your head. I would definitely call and ask your doctor about it. The acne is probably from the 5FU, if you are on that. It caused some acne for me when I was on it (among other things). It also made some splotchy pigmentations on my face and my skin on my hands also got a lot darker.
If I were you, I'd google "side effects" for the chemos you're on and see if any match. Again, though, since you have the head issue and I can't relate to that, I'd definitely ask your doctor(s) about it and also see if anything can be taken for your side effects.
Best wishes!

Oh- I forgot to comment on the lazy and watery eye. I also had that reaction. My left eye was always teary and kind of droopy. I hadn't heard of that happening to anyone else until you mentioned it now. So, it could be totally related to the chemo for the colorectal cancer. Just in case it could be related to the brain/head issue, check with your doctor on that.
God bless-
