I finished chemo January 28,and rad's April 8,2011 now I'm having abdominal pain I had a pap smear last month and it was negative but I've had that before and still had a cyst on my ovaries year's ago,my question is should i wait until i have a pet/scan which isn't scheduled yet i see my oncologist May 24 and he'll schedule that appt.My gynecologist is in another town about an hour away I'm so tired of the constant nagging pain it's like cramping,I haven't had a period since March 09 I had an endometrial ablation which is similar to a D&C. have anyone had any problems after chemo with there stomach cramping?

    I would call your doctor. I am sure that they will ask some questions and phone screen you and direct you on what to do.
    Hoping you feel better.

    Molly, I finished chemo
    Molly, I finished chemo about a year ago. A few months after completing my treatments, I started to have some rather sharp pains in my left side. Actually, sometimes they were sharp and sometimes dull. Eventually, I began to feel flu-ish and generally "icky". I did see my onc. during that period (which lasted for about 3 weeks), and she had me get some blood tests and an abdominal ultrasound. Eventually, the symptoms dissipated, and I recovered. It was all a mystery. I believe the chemo can lower your immunities and make you more susceptible to "stuff". I definitely recommend seeing your onc. I know sometimes when we have those aches and pains after surviving our cancer treatments, our minds immediately go to all the wrong places. Believe me, I know! Blessings to you! Lynn

    Thanks LynnKT
    That's what I'm going to ask for(abdominal ultrasound)I had a pap smear last month and it was normal and in March i was having sharp pains in the stomach and back and the oncologist put me on a round of antibiotics thinking i had a kidney infection or bladder infection,I will let you know what happens because i know what we've been through will make our minds wonder a lot but i also know we have other issues in our body that we forget about even when i get a headache now I think what is this.LOL ~Hugs~ MOLLYZ
