With regard to Darla's question about chemo causing migraines, it occurred to
me that she might want to get hold of the latest PDR and read the fine print
that goes with her particular chemo drugs.

The package insert for all pharmaceutical products contains information about
side effects and % of occurrence, adverse reactions, contraindications and etc.
Somewhere in all the legalese, there should be mention of headaches and how
often they happened.  That should give some idea of what to expect.

I did read the info about Taxol but it was during treatment and my
concentration was pretty well non-existent.  Not to mention my eyes weren't
working too well  which I learned is a side effect of of that particular drug.
I don't remember that migraines or increase in same were a side effect.

Thanks Sassy, I'll do that.  I'm also plan to discuss my migraine
history with the oncologist. I'm sure I'll get through this finite
period of my life just fine!
