Colon Cancer & surviving Chemo

[Eic1946-1167]

I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer last June, did 8 Chemo treatments and surgery. Removed some Colin and left ovarie along with 23 lymph nodes, 22 were positive for cancer. Now having back pain and constipation, I'm using ibeprofen, but worried about the side effects of ibeprofen.

You're right to worry.. Ibuprofen can be bad for your stomach, if you are using it regularly you should ask for a gastro resistant to guard your stomach.

I know you've said you had colon cancer.. this site is for those of us with ovarian cancer and PPC- are you saying you also have ovarian? ( if so poor you)... just want you to be in the right place to get the best help!

All the best

Hi

Agree with Lyndy,wish you all the best for your journey, but this may not be the right site for you,you need to talk to your team about pain relief

Wish you all the best

Ate you concerned that the back pain may be connected to ovarian cancer? (You mentioned your left ovary being removed. Was the ovary diseased?) I wouldn't keep on with the ibuprofen, there is documented evidence that long term use is not good.

As Lyndy and Carole have said this forum is for ovarian cancer, I truly hope you do not have it as you have already had a rough ride, but, if you do this is the place to be for fab support and a wealth of knowledge from lovely people who have so much experience of the disease.

Good luck ❤️Xx
