Really bad cramps in lower abdome after 6 sessions of r chop any one else had this what did they do

  • Hi  and welcome to this corner if the community.

    Well done getting through all your treatments but sorry to hear you are experiencing abdominal cramps.

    The body is out through a lot during treatment so treatment after effects can happen. I had no problems like this but did experience various other treatment ‘left overs’. 

    The main advise will always be is to talk this through with your clinical team and get them to check things out.

  • Yes, I had it then and still sometimes get pain after eating a large meal. I've done two sorts of chemo a couple of years apart and both had this side effect. It is getting better now some few months later. I found it was worse if slightly constipated so made sure to avoid that scenario. Orange juice is my go to for that along with not getting dehydrated.
