Hi, I'm in the middle of my radiation therapy and have started having headaches that are borderline migraine and nausea. Is this normal? Any ideas how to handle it? Thanks, Betsy

    I was getting headaches
    I was getting headaches until, my PT did some neck and shoulder manioulation and massage. I think the positioning on the table was doing a number on those areas. very stiff and painful. you should run it by your doc.

    It could be from stress.
    It could be from stress. Going thru treatment for bc, any kind, can add so much stress to our already frail state of mind. Be sure and tell your rads oncologist. Hope you get thru rads easily. Keep your creams on!!!!
