What Causes Fatigue And Headache After Chemotherapy?
My husband finished his chemo treatment 3 weeks now for testicular cancer stage 1. He seems extremely fatigued and his hands are more swollen than when he was going through chemo. He had a bad headache yesterday, he said may have been caffeine withdrawal. Is this normal after chemo?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern from the history given here, I could say that chemotherapy could induces the numbers of side effects but that is all happens till the patient is on chemotherapy once the course of this is finished symptoms also disappears, and this is nothing to worry, take care of your husband and stop worrying, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
