Stomach Trouble
Did anyone come out of treatment with stomach trouble? I used to joke about my cast iron stomach. I finished 3 A/C, 4 Taxol and 36 weeks of Herceptin. Had to stop Herceptin due to heart issues. I had uncomfortable acid reflux during taxol and Herceptin, but an occasional antacid helped. Last does of Herceptin was six weeks ago and this weekend I got acid reflux so bad that I vomited three days in a row. My oncologist doesn't think this has to do with herceptin and suggested I see my family doctor if I don't improve. Does Herceptin have withdrawal symptoms. My stomach feels like it's been scraped with a brillo pad. Did anyone get this? Do you think the chemo & herceptin left our stomach linings more delicate. MJO
