    Are you saying kidneys?? Have you done something to injure your back? Sorry you're feeling bad, make a appointment with your doctor.

    Pepe, are you drinking
    Pepe, are you drinking enough water to combat the dehydration caused by the chemo? Maybe that's what's causing the pain? When do you see your Dr. again?

    accupuncture
    I had a bad pinch in the lumbar and then the left shoulder. I went to an acupuncturist. He spoke to me for 5 mins and then examined me for 5 mins. He looked at me very concerned and asked if I had been tested for colon cancer. I was blown away. I did not tell him I had colon cancer he knew from touching my body. 3 sessions over 10 days and he relaxed my back and body. No meds just a couple of 20 min sessions with needles.

    Best Always, mike

    Hi Pepe, I'm glad that it's not too serious, at least it's something that antibiotics can cure. Rest up, and get better soon. :-)

    Glad to hear
    Good it wasn't something worse.

    I hated that my white cells always died off.

    Get rested with your week off chemo.
