Digestive upsets with chemo

[Cazy1010]

I’m hoping to have my 6th chemo next week fingers crossed (they have been delayed due to bloods) but for the last two times I’ve had tummy problems, I do have a hiatus hernia and acid problems but do take tablets but it seems to get worse !! I know chemo plays nasty things on good cells as well has anybody else experienced this ? My CT scan after chemo was fine so nothing nasty lingering x

I just finished my 6th infusion of Carboplatin/Paclitaxel. I am in a clinical trial and possibly had Oreganovamab during 1, 3, 5 infusion but I do not know as it is a double-blind study. I will have just the trial drug alone in about 7-8 weeks. My stomach and digestion have been very bad since the first infusion including constipation and pain. I had a CT recently and it did not seem to show anything to account for the discomfort. I am thinking it is the chemo. It tends to get a little better but then it’s been time for another chemo. I’m hoping it will resolve further now that I’m having a break.

I’m hoping the same it will resolve after my last chemo , it has been getting worse as my chemo schedule progresses, hope you are doing well take care

Yes. I hope it improves for you. I was not expecting this level of tummy stuff. Between the constipation, shooting pains and feeling like my stomach is twisting, I’m ready for a break to recover. I hope to try and tackle the neuropathy in hands and feet next. I hope my blood work improves and I’ll get some energy back. I hope you get through your last rounds and feel better soon.
