Hello, I am 28 and was diagnosed with stage 3 HL June 2020 I finished my 6 rounds of AAVD chemotherapy December 7th .. about 2 weeks after I ended chemo my stomach started hurting after everything I eat, I get a pain in my stomach below my ribs, constant diarrhea & have thrown up about 3 times. It’s now been a month of this. I have been admitted to the hospital 2 times and they can’t find anything wrong other than my stomach is inflamed (gastritis). They said my gallbladder is normal, no infections, no covid. I’ve had stool samples, CT Scans, endoscopy & colonoscopy but still no answers. I was given Prilosec and it helps a little bit but not much. Im wondering if anyone has had any similar issues or any advice? This is unbearable, I can’t eat anything. I tried drinking ensure and I throw it right back up. HELP!

  • Oh that’s really miserable! Poor you.....they will need to help as you can’t carry on like this. 
    Maybe ask your specialist nurse for Aprepitant/Emend, as that’s the very best for nausea?

    Hope they find something that helps
