Hi Murphy1, 

Thank you for your post on the Ask a Nurse section.

I am sorry to read that you have been feeling achy with a headache since your first cycle of TC. We would recommend that you discuss this with your team in the hospital. It is important that they are aware of this and may be able to advise what may help relieve these symptoms. 

If you would like to speak with one of our cancer nurses at any stage, please contact the Support Line on 1800 200 700, Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm. 

Kind regards, 

Cancer Nurse.
