Hello - I'm onto my second 4 cycles of 8 Chemos - so just had my 5th last Wednesday and feel awful - constant stomach cramps swollen tongue and muscle pain - I was given different drugs which I think must be stronger.

Any suggestions of what might get rid of constant stomach cramps ?   
 

thank you  

  • Hi BuddySue and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry about the side effects you're experiencing. They sound rather challenging but I hope these tips we have for managing them will help. 

    I'm sure some of our members will offer their advice to you soon but if you'd like to have a quick chat with cancer nurses about this, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I really hope things start to improve soon and the rest of your chemo goes well.

    Kind regards,
