Jaw ache following EC

Hi, I'm on my third round of EC for breast cancer and doing ok at the moment. I'm having the cold cap and managing to hold on to some of my hair, although I am experiencing really bad painful jaw ache this time round. I've had it a little previously but nothing like this, Its really quite bad. I wondered if anyone else who'd tried the cold cap had also suffered with jaw ache? It isn't a problem that the hospital have really mentioned.

  • Hi Jan. 

    I'm sorry to hear about this new problem you've been experiencing. It sounds as if it's really uncomfortable for you. 

    I've searched through the forum but can't find anyone else who has mentioned having had a similar problem, although that's not to say they haven't. 

    I would be a good idea to have a chat about this jaw ache to the nurse or the team involved in your care. 

    Let us know how you get on Jan. 

    Best wishes.
