I everyone

I am currenty on my 3rd cycle out of eight I am having capecitabine and Oxaliplatin chemopharpy

This weekend was the first time I have had stomach pains that disappear when I lay down

I would like to know if this is common or should I contact my doctor

The other thing that may have caused the stomach pain is I have started to self caffitar...I have sent a urine sample on Thursday to check I do not have any infection but have not heard any news

If anyone has had the same problem I would love to hear from you

Glad to hear that you got to the bottom of it Wrox. I have my 4th cycle tomorrow and hope to find out more from the oncologist prior to the treatment. I have to say though that lying down doesn't really increase or decrease my pain. Will let you know if I hear anything ground breaking.

Take care
