Ear aches, ect... HELP

Apaugh

Druing my whole time on chemo  (6 1/2 weeks completed) I had ear aches and feeling of fullness,  neck soreness and sore throat, drippy nose but not stuffy.  I am now my second herceptin and I am still doing this.  Anyone else do this and any suggestions?  I am miserable.

My first reaction is to call your Oncologist

ask for medical treatment or some assistance in helping with your on going pain.  You should NOT suffer endlessly, like this!!  You may need to be referred to an ear nose throat specialist.

i found that the NP or RN deslif with chemo patients have more insights to what helps - than we know.

Just a though.

You could have a strep or staph infection.  You should tell your NP or MO abiout it as soon as you can.

thank you

Hey ladies, thank you for your kind words and advice.  I mentioned it to my GP and she said,"that is chemo reaction, I dont do that.  Refer to your Ono."   ok, so I called my Onocologist and he said, "call your GP, not chemo related."  Wow, I am feeling so cared for now.

Update on pain in ears

I was sent to an ear specialist and it has been determined it is nerve damage from the chemo.  Vibration aggrivates it.  It may or may not go away in time so I deal with it.  Cotton balls in the ears, head phones or ear muffs most the time.

Looking goofy but remaining hopeful.
