    I get kinda "cramping"
    After receiving Taxol/Carbo, + Avastin, I feel a cramping feeling in various areas of my abdomen. The Dr. says "hopefully that's the chemo working". I'm hoping he's right. xoxo

    pain
    I have bowel issues...unsure if it is related to the chemo or the surgery. I get a 'pulling' feeling near the left of my bellybutton when I lay on my stomach or stretch my body. I also get pain in my left groin area when I rotate my hip outward. Nothing showed on the PETSCAN.

    I have too
    I get pain in my left groin but that is where the infected lymph node and the problem with the diverticulitis in the colon is. I also have developed cramps in my feet that pull my toes in weird ways and hurts like the dickens!. Usually at bedtime. Saundra

    I had HORRIBLE back spasms
    I had HORRIBLE back spasms that started post-op in the hospital and continued thru my first couple of chemo sessions. I had to use Fentanyl patches, as the hydrocodone did not make a dent in the pain.

    During my first treatment, I experienced a series of brief, very sharp, almost "electrical" feeling spasms in my back - like I was being repeatedly tasered.
