Really bad indigestion 5 days after 1st chemo/immuno

Hopefulnetty

Hi, can anyone give any tips on dealing with really painful on & off indigestion?

My partner had his first immunotherapy and chemotherapy last Friday (Durvalumab & Gem/Cis), he hasn't had as many side effects as we thought he'd gave other than fatigue and occasional nausea until this afternoon when he started getting really bad indigestion. He's had lansoprazole and gaviscon advance & has been drinking water. Has anyone been through similar, did anything help?

Thanks so much

    Hi, I had different chemotherapy and immunotherapy but developed the most painful indigestion. I was already taking Lansoprazole 30mg once  then twice daily and gaviscon. The Gp changed it esomeprazole twice daily. I started to get some relief after a few days. Although I don’t feel like eating much, I’ll eat some nice dry bread (which I like) so that my stomach isn’t too empty
