Anyone out there w/ severe abdominal pain side effect from Taxol? I don't mean cramping or from diarhea
In the middle of chemotherapy for stage 2, node negative, triple negative BC. Regimen is 4AC and 4Taxol, dose dense. AC gave me extreme constipation(finally going on Day6 w/ stool softeners) but no abdominal pain and could eat normally by second week. I had first Taxol 9 days ago. Had funny, random feeling in abdomen during infusion, but no pain. Along with extreme leg pain 3rd night after inf I developed sharp, shooting pains across my lower abdomen, hip-bone to hip bone, and stinging, painful "spasms" near my tailbone/anus. Next day Loritabs resolved most of the pain and was tolerable w/out pain meds by day 6, but made me constipated again. I'm still somewhat bloated and don't feel quite right. Last night having minimal, but constant pain/burning sensation on right side, which hasn't resolved yet with normal BM this morning. I'm worried that I'm doing damage to my colon. I can barely find anything about this kind of side effect w/ Taxol
