Carboplatin side effects?

hi, I'm 10 weeks into 18 week treatment of carboplatin and taxol and it hasn't been too bad. The last 2 carboplatin I've had (I only have that one every 3 weeks) I've woken up the next day with pretty bad stomach pains making it difficult to stand upright as it's worse when I stretch. Last time it had worn off after a couple of days. Is this a common side effect for anyone else on carboatin? (It never happens on my taxol only weeks) thank you x

Hi, I've had five sessions of carboplatin and had stomach discomfort for the first four sessions. I asked my oncologist about this and she said stomach discomfort and pain isn't unusual. I tried to imagine it was the chemo attacking the Cancer.x
