Re: GI mets?
I have had horrible GI issues since my last Taxol infusion back in 2011, and it really hasn't improved, I just manage it better with diet. Maybe you caught a stomach bug? This is going around my office and schools around here.
If it continues for over one week, make an appointment with a GI doctor. Have you had a colonoscopy? I had one right before surgery in 2011 and due for my 5 year in August. I'm curious to what they will find, my GI issues are horrible! I have been checked out by numerous doctors so I definitely believe it's chemo damage - they really beat up your digestive system.
Hope you feel better!
