Indigestion and reflux
Hi
I had my 2nd dose AC a week ago and over the weekend was hit with indigestion and reflux. Have others had this, what worked for you?

Hi Jodie,
sorry to hear you're suffering with reflux, I also did after my second chemo treatment and was surprised how painful it was, I was struggling to swallow water. Apparently this is a common side effect as the chemo attacks all fast growing cells (because that's what cancer cells are) which particularly applies to the digestive tract, chemo doesn't distinguish. Nexium was prescribed by my oncologist and resolved all symptoms. I stayed on it for the course of chemo. Call your oncologist and see if they can give you a prescription for this or an alternative.
Hope you feel better soon.
