A quick update

Stomach cramps. Started this afternoon and back tonight. Hard and painful. I took a tramadol this
afternoon and the  pain eased quickly so when they hit again tonight, I popped another pill. The pain
eased quickly but I can't take a lot of the tramadol so I will have to discuss with Dr. Reddy on
Monday to see if there is something else I can do about this problem. 
Teri checked the write-up of the two chemo concoctions that I am taking and it specifically 
mentions the abdominal pain possibility and that while it is not considered an emergency, it should be addressed by the Dr. within 24 hours. Carboplatin  seems to be the culprit. Taxol doesn't seem to cause the problem. To be continued.....
