Spotting

I am presently 1/2 way through my 2nd line chemo treatment.  Last Thursday I woke with terrible low back pains, then last evening I began spotting.  I had a complete hysterectomy last August.  I woke this morning with more spotting, and , crazy as it sounds, cramping just as if I was having a period.   What is this???  I have a call into my gyn/onc office, and I am waiting by my phone for an answer or something.  A chemo nurse I spoke with said that it is remotely possible that my coumadin ( I take because of my port) could have something to do with it.  My question is....what is in there bleeding?????   When I had my comlete hysterectomy and biopysy....they took everything.  Always something new popping up, eh?  anyone with any past experience with this?  Thanks for any help.  Careylyn

I have a physical exam with my gyn/onc tomorrow (Thursday).  The dr's PA didn't know what it was from, and she said as long as I wasn't "gushing"....(if I was then I should go straight to ER), the dr would be able to explain to me on Thursday at my exam.  On well, I will not let it worry me, it is what it is...just as all the rest of the ovarian cancer is.  I take each day and am greatful for it.  :)  Peace to both of you.  Thank you for your concern.

I am wondering about your back pain. Could it be possible you have a urinary tract infection. Take care and let us know how you are doing. Hugs. Erika
