Narrative:

After pushing back from the jetway the aft galley filled with jet fuel odor. We contacted the pilot and returned to the gate. I had pain in my sinus going up behind my left eye and pain in the middle if my forehead. Followed by a metal taste in my mouth. I stepped off the aircraft while passengers were deplaning for fresh air due to jet fuel exposure.
