Abdominal Cramps

Hi ,

My mum had terrible cramps . I could only describe it as colicky type symptoms . She was rolling round the bed at times . Over the counter buscopan really helped . I think it might have been on her rest week when the cap tablets stopped . It seemed to get worse then settle on her next infusion . Definitely one to run by your team . We though it was her bowel blocking at times but it was more her colon being very inflamed apparently. 
I would chat to your team about the best way to manage it as it can be very painful .

I can understand your concern . The second year of treatment my mum had her dose slightly reduced and got a better balance all round . Her team were able to manage it .

I don’t read off it too much on the forums strangely enough but the chemo still did a good job despite it all .

Take care ,
