Annie,
This is just a guess....but since you mentioned that you are chasing after your two yr. I am assuming that you are NOT post menapausal. I had TCH and I am post menapausal and did not experience cramping. Maybe the chemo is working on your hormonal level and casuing your body to react with the cramps?
I certainly do not know just a thought and hopfully your dr. will be able to
confirm this. I think the warm heating pad (if you do not have one) you can
also place a wet small towel in some cling wrap and then warm it up in the microwave for a few min. and place on your tummy. The cling wrap will hold the warmth in longer...be careful not to make it too hot.
It cannot be easy running after a toddler and having the TCH....at the same time. Make sure to drink and flush your system. Also some alieve for the cramping. Wish I could offer more
help...please let us know what your dr. says.
Sending you all good wishes,
Jean
