I made it through the first few days after my treatment without much nausea or other side effects. I should have known it was going too well…Yesterday I developed severe abdominal pains and finally called my homecare nurse. She said I should go to the emergency to rule out a blood clot and that they would take me right away once I said I was a chemo patient.
Five hours later… I finally had blood tests and an x-ray. The tests showed elevated counts for my pancreas, which is exactly where the pains were. They gave me morphine (a mighty fine drug!) and sent me home feeling more than a little loopy.
I seem fine this morning and hoping to put that incident (and the painful hours in the emerg) behind me.
