Mr - experiencing abdominal pain after 1st APC triplet chemo. How long will this last?

APC Triplet chemo. Had first session 4 days ago. Main problem seems to be abdominal pain. How long dose this last for?

  • Hi there and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear you have just started some treatment and have been experiencing some abdominal pain since.

    Do let the chemo know about this if it continues and is causing you alot of discomfort, there are often things that can be done to help.

    The digestive system causing bloating, nausea, diarrhoea and so on can be affected by chemotherapy but this usually settles down a few days after the chemo is given. As I say if this is ongoing and unbearable do let your team know on the emergency number given on your treatment card.

    I hope this helps and that this pain settles soon.

    Best wishes

    Naomi
