Side effects of carboplatin/taxol

[Cath63]

Hi ladies just to see if anyone has had really painful swollen tummy on this drug , it seems with every treatment I get , around the 2nd day my stomach swells up I look about 9 months pregnant , and is very painful personally I think it's all the premeds I get before chemo , the nurse said my oncologist has doubled my steroid dose because of the side effects I've had , and on Thursday when the pharmacist came round to give me my take home usual prescription he mentioned my doctor had prescribed me morphine to take when pain is very bad , I'm a bit reluctant to take it, has anyone else had similar issues
