stay on it

Hi there - just a note to keep in mind I was experiencing minor heartburn myself with my chemo and my doctor gave me zantac which helped temporarily. The symptoms got worse as I continued on chemo and was given losec which worked also very well. When it stopped working a few weeks later it took a persistent emergency room doctor and cat scan to find out that one of my liver mets was wrapping around my gallbladder bile duct which was causing the pain - so just a heads up to be persistent with your doctor if you are having heart burn/ bad tummy as it can be more than a side effect but another problem.

Now I am treated for the pain and swelling in the liver and rarely have heartburn or other - but if I do losec always helps if it breaksthrough.
