i have sharp shooting pains on the left side and top part of my head. i have Mantle Cell lymphoma and take the newly approved drug Imbruvica. one of the side effects are headaches but I ve been taking it for 4 months now and this was not a symptom until now. Also worried about tumor or stroke symptoms. Thoughts?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have mantle cell lymphoma.  Chemotherapy is the treatment of choice. Imbruvica is very new Chat Doctor.  As you said it causes headache, but it is very difficult to say how safe it is. There are no larger scale studies available for Imbruvica.  So consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
