Re: Need advice - warning - not pretty
Are you sure its cramps and not acid reflux? I had a huge problem with this on taxotere. My onc put me on proton pump inhibitors for 10 days of each cycle. Worked wonders. Also Emend, if you are on it for nausea will cause constipation in some. Magnesium supplements are very helpful. They help leg cramps, too.
