After effects - bloating - magnesium side effect?

Hi Bonnie B sorry I can't comment on magnesium issue though I did have bloating after my laparoscopic surgery, I put that down to ' being inflated ' for the procedure ..full Hysterectomy including Omentum biopsies... it did take a while to settle, I also stopped my chemo due to side effects ( I only had one ! ) as I too ended up in hospital for a few days and it was decided the negatives outweighed the positives. I am currently waiting results of an adenoma found on my Adrenal gland on one of my kidneys. 

I hope your results go well and you can start to move on take care x Nanny Janet

Hi nannyjanet

Yes that's what I thought too.  Being inflated.  It comes and goes.  Spoke to my cancer nurse this morning.  My magnesium is more or less back to normal so may be able to stop the magnesium.  That would be great.  

You were fortunate to stop at one chemo session.  Every time just got worse.  I hope your results are good and you don't have more to deal with.  It is exhausting trying to keep going some days isn't it ?

I think 2021 is my "annus horribilis" as the Queen said.  My diagnosis of endometrial cancer: finding my sister in her flat collapsed due to what turned out to be massive bleed on the brain - she died five days later: week after her funeral my surgery: my dog ruptured his cruciate ligament and required surgery and a plate in his le.  fortunately a friend who is a retired vet looked after him for me, but because of the effects of chemo I didn't see him for 4 months!: then just as I was thinking things were improving the breast tumour.  But is was v small and removed quickly.  

All will be fine as I hope it is for you.

Hello again Bonnie B. Sorry to hear you had to go through the worry of a tumour being found at your breast screening. Fingers crossed the pathology results show nothing more is needed.

I recall you'd had to come to terms with the premature death of your sister and I remember you having to be apart from your dog after cruciate ligament surgery. My own little Jack ruptured his, thankfully didn't need surgery as he was small then the other spontaneously erupted 4 months later - lots of lead walks for ages. He passed away in May age 17 and I still miss him dreadfully - the deerhound we took on when hubby's daughter's marriage failed is hard work. (3rd deerhound we've had and doesn't follow the norm in any way!)

I myself had brachytherapy (this time last year) and have noticed a change in bowel habits over the last couple of months, bloating, needing to go more frequently and intense pain whether I pass a motion or wind. I saw my Oncologist/gynaecologist yesterday for my year post op checkup and he didn't seem overly worried, nor offer any real advice when I think about it.

Let us know how it goes Wednesday.

Hugs, Barb xx
