How Can Chronic Headache While Suffering From Metaplastic Carcinoma Be Treated?

I have metaplastic carcinoma and I ve had a bilateral mastectomyhaving failed two different rounds of chemo, resulting in a left arterial 50% dissection. This has caused a pretty severe chronic headache. I have not yet shown signs of metastasis but I am certain to show them at some point in the future due to the type of cancer. I ve developed a dry cough in the last couple of days and was wondering if this could possibly be a symptom of lung metastasis.Thank you - Have a nice evening.

Hello Dear. The headache and cough can be either just because of low immunity you may be having because of taking chemo. But we also need to rule out possibilities of metastasis for which CT scan has to be done. Kindly visit your doctor who will evaluate you and see if CT scan is required or you can be treated symptomatically.

Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
