Hi again ecw

These tablets are to reduce acid in your stomach which may burn your already damaged insides. It takes a few days to take effect. The side effects you are experiencing may be from the radiotherapy rather than the medicine. The peak of side effects from radiotherapy occur at end of treatment and for up to two weeks after that. It would be worth phoning your oncology department for advice, if it is the lansoprazole causing your problems they may be able to offer you an alternative. It is also good to inform them when you discontinue taking a prescribed medicine. Kim

Hi again Kim 

Yes I am seeing my oncologist tomorrow so will mention it then, while I was having my radiation 4 weeks) I was not on any Meds and felt fine no tidiness no sickness no side affects  at all then he started me on predislone, lansoprazole, also antacid and oxetacaine suspension, and now I feel **** headaches dizzy shakes noises in the ears. Had a brain Mri day before treatment started and was clear. He said last week when I mentioned it it would not have gone to brain.

Thanks Kim x

Hi ecw

Quite a cocktail, I didnt have the prednisolone but can confirm that the oxetacaine anaesthetic can give you dizzy spells. Your oncologist should sort you out, lucky you have an appointment tomorrow. Good luck and best wishes. Kim
