Guest guest Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Gentlemen, I'm experiencing nausea for about 5 to 6 days now. I'm curious could this be cancer related? I never experienced this before and I actually vomited this morning. There wasn't I am multiple supplements and the only prescribed drug i'm on at this time is metaformin which I read this can be a symptom so my last 500mg taken was last night and phenazopyridine (for bladder spasms) which I also stopped as of yesterday. Any ideas? Am I overly paranoid? Update since my last post: This week i'm getting a full nuclear bone scan per my request. I've also been in contact with Dr. Snuffy Myers office and i'm waiting on my consultation appointment. He was nice enough to send me a positive email concerning my PCa after he read my chronological history report. In addition since I live in the Seattle area I'm scheduled to see a medical oncologist at Hutchinson (Dr. Bruce Montgomery not Dr. Higano like last reported). So the wheel are in motion so to speak.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Metformin can cause nausea but 500mg is a minimal dose. Metformin XL can ease the digestive discomfort for Metformin.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 It was the metformin making me ill. After 2 days of not taking I woke today feeling better.
