Hey Everyone,
Two days after my first chemo, I started feeling a lot better. BUT at 6:00pm I started having really bad cramps...I called the "on call" Nurse who said this was a symptom that she had not heard before. By midnight I decided EXACTLY what all the cramps felt like. Labor pains...extreme low back cramps and what felt like menstrual cramps. My period is not due, and I am definatley not pregnant. Just had my period on 8/24.
She said it was possible that my ovaries were shutting down, or that the chemo was going to bring on the next period much sooner than it was due. Anyone else by chance have this experience?
I took advil for the pain, and today only my back is still hurting, but not as bad. The nurse said if it did not improve to go to the ER, but I just wasn't up to it..
LOVE TO ALL
