You know my mom just had treatment this week, starting on weds and last night

she was in horrible pain. Same area as you. She also has the same treatment

as you too. I would be curious to here if this is common.

Hi everyone:

Saturday night I had to go to the emergency room because the pain in my

lower abdomen was excruciating and I had a temperature of about 100.8.

It feels like my lower abdomen is raw inside. They put me on Cipro (an

antibiotic) and concluded that it could be an inflamation caused by the

chemo. On Monday, I went to my oncologist for what was to be my third

chemo treatment. He decided I was too sick to have chemo this week due

to the pain in my abdomen. He said that the chemo may be too toxic for

me and that he may have to lessen the amount of the drug. I am not

sure which one he is thinking but I am on Avastin plus

Oxaliplatin/Leucovorin and 5FU (three days every other week). Has

anyone else had this problem?

in California

... hope you are feeling a little better by now....and even more so

tomorrow!! Glenn always bounced back after missing a chemo treatment... it

just gives the body time to recover a little more. Drags the time out a bit

more, but that can't be helped sometimes. Glad he put you on an

anti-biotic!! Rest that ole body girl!!! LOL Don't forget to " remind " your

Onc. when

you go back that he was considering lowering the dosage...they forget!!!

Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle

, I do hope you are feeling better now. So sorry you had such

a bad reaction. Hopefully by reducing some of the chemo drugs you

will not go through this again. Hoping the best for You. Ingrid
