Hi, I’ve had my third of four cycles of TC and have had real challenges with gastric upset/colic side effects and wondered if I’m alone in this? Thanks 

  • Hello  

    Sorry to hear the problems you've experienced with TC.  I personally can't help as I didn't have chemo.

    However, as it's the Christmas period, there's been less women around on the forum, so I am answering to bump your post back to first page in the hope that someone's around who can help you now.

    Kindest wishes, Lesley

  • Hi there . I had this treatment and just wondering if you have taken your anti sickness meds as they do help and also I doubled up my omeprazole which helped. Good luck nearly done with this one .Hearts️

  • Thank you, much appreciated. 

  • Hi, thank you for replying. I’m taking Buscopan, not been nauseous or sick, however, unfortunately, I can’t take Metaclopromide at the same time as they both impact in not very harmonious ways on gastric activity. 
    Thank you again, I hope you’re doing ok and I’m delighted the approach helped you. X
