Has anyone experience abdominal pains (like a numbing, tightening or cramping
sensation), especially at night?
My father is on his 10th cycle of Avastin and Xeloda...seems to be working well
with his CEA steadily decreasing and his scans showing tumor decrease or
stabilization. But he has been getting these abdominal pain more often...he has
regular bowel movements so I don't believe it's an intestinal obstruction. Just
wanted to get everyone's thoughts on this and any remedy???
He takes oxycontin for pain management, pepcid ac and prilosec or prevacid.
hugs,
Nickie
