No More Migraines or Eczema

I've noticed since my cancer and chemo treatments two pre-cancer conditions have gone away.
 
The first is migraine headaches.  I suffered with headaches for years and throughout that time tried every type of pill to rid myself of the pain.  When Excederine Migraine was introduced on the market, I was able to tolerate these "headache" days.  Interestingly,  I have not experienced migraines since my cancer.  I don't know if there is some kind of link with the chemo treatments. 
 
Secondly, I no longer have eczema on my right hand.  Stress would set off the itching, scalling and redness on my skin.  I tried all sorts of hand lotions.  Once the stress had passed, so did the eczema.  I've  had this condition for over five years. Cancer can be stressful, but once I started chemo, this too stopped.
 
I'm thankful not to suffer with these two afflictions.  My trade off has been the side effects from chemo.  The most persistent is stomach cramps.  I'm learning what foods I just can't eat.  Naturally they happen to be on my comfort food list.
 
I've found that buttered  popcorn tastes wonderful and at the moment I enjoy every kernel.  Hours later I'm reminded why I can't eat popcorn.  I also enjoy chocolate.  This too can look soooo good. 
 
Has anyone else experienced changes like this?  Please let me know.
