Hi:

After chemo I developed gallbladder problems; my gall bladder could no longer eject bile effectively. My internist said this will often happen after a serious illness or chemo. I had pain 20 minutest to 2 hours after eating, middle and upper right side. A heptobillary scan with CCK was done where you receive a IV medicine and than are placed under a nuclear medicine camera which measures how fast the gallbladder empties. My gallbladder was removed finally a year after finishing my A/C and Taxol and while I was still on Herceptin. My recovery was easy and the problem resolved. I also had plain indigestion when on Chemo and my oncologist had me take Nexium morning and night for the first five days after each treatment.

I hope you feel better shortly.
