EC Chemo cycle question

SFic

Hi All,

I'm just recovering from side effects from my 2nd. chemo treatment. They seem to appear on the 6th. day following treatment. My thinking is that if the chemo is working, it must make a make a pretty toxic time bomb. All those drugs and dead cells have to work their way out at some point. If this is true, then I can plan around these bad days. Any thoughts on this?
Now I would like to describe my last complications and see if anyone else has experienced them. About the 5th. day following my 2nd. treatment, I started hiccuping. The hiccup would then be followed by spasms. I would have to change position in order to make it stop. Then after 5 minutes or so, it would start all over again. It felt like acid reflux, but with air instead of fluid. The only way I can describe the spasms is the think of a flapper on a tractor's exhaust pipe. Hiccup / flap /flap /flap. They seem to be gone today, but I sure would like to avoid them in the future. I haven't reported any of this to the cancer center, I was waiting till Monday. I'll see the oncologist on 3/12 to schedule my "look see" cat scan.
I have stage IV EC with positive distant lymphnodes. No other organ involvement so far.

So it goes,

Gas
It just could be old fashion gas, try some over the counter gas x. That may help.

God Bless,
