chemo side effects

Hi ,

Can you refresh my memory . Are you currently on chemo ? 

I would run it by your team as they like to make sure everything is fine regarding blockage . We contacted my mum’s team and she had bad colic type pains and a very noisy tummy you could hear across the room . They asked her various questions and seemed content with her answers . She used buscopan for the colic type pains . Ten years later and I can still hear a lot of gurgling going on . No idea why it’s so noisy at times and she has no stoma . 

You also might like to ask our helpline staff if you need some reassurance. 0808 808 0000 . We certainly found it helpful to check out with her team . 

All the best and hope it settles . Also apologies for not replying sooner . I read then got distracted by my family before I got round to replying .

take care ,

Hi Court

Yes I've had 5 chemo sessions now but all this trapped wind stuff started before my chemo began. I have had a follow up from surgery end September and everything was fine blockage wise. This latest bout has lasted 5 days with the stomach cramps and rock hard stomach the worst part. I have opened my bowels with the help of senna as it all started with a bout of constipation. I've spoken with the chemo team over the weekend and they have referred me to the gp but I will also give the colorectal nurse I was assigned to when diagnosed a call too.

Thanks Mark
