Happy New Year lovelies...my stomach has started acting up again, like when I was doing chemo...I finished chemo in mid September and my stomach started in the last couple of weeks. Is this normal? It’s hard to describe it, it’s not painful, feels like the lining of my stomach is burning. Taking Zantac doesn’t help...whereas when I was on chemo it would. And a little pain in my lower back, paranoid I know but can’t help but think it’s something like C..

Can you go to the drs @Hendrix I didn’t have chemo so I don’t know the feeling. I hope all is okay.

I'd see your GP. You could well have a stress ulcer.We all worry about symptoms being more than the most obvious issues. It does get better. But the best thing is to talk to someone about it, get checked then you can relax.

@primek I will call my GP tomorrow...thank you

@SonyiaB I’ve taken probiotics but it gives me diarrhoea...I was going well with food taste buds back..just last 2 weeks anything I put in my mouth or empty stomach...just have this burning sensation, reflux...ugh!!

Glad you're seeing your GP but I found that slippery elm ( a powder that turns into a gel and coats your digestive tract) helped me a lot during chemo, so much that I stopped my Nexium. Are you on Herceptin? I find that upsets my tummy a bit too.Good luck with it all x

@poodlejules I finished chemo mid September and finished radiation 2 weeks ago...I start hormone blockers I’m assuming on the 9th when I see oncologist but not sure which ones...problem with my stomach only started a couple of weeks ago. I will make an appointment with GP but find his reluctant to check anything that might be related to my treatment and will tell me to wait and speak to my oncologist.

I take ginger capsules and eat gingernut biscuits. I don't get the pain now but still get the odd hiccuppy burp business. I think its the Tamoxifen I am on. When I took antidepressants it was really bad and damaged my stomach. All my glands swelled on those and I had to go off them.
