What Causes Pain And Spasms Post Chemotherapy For Ovarian Cancer?
Hi, I had ovarian cancer operation in October. Each time, after chemo, I have heartburn. I normally take Lansoprazol 15 mg per day and that seems to help. However, during these times (and I just had my last of 6 chemos this past Wednesday) all sorts of tummy and esophageal pains and spasms erupt. I read that Orange Juice and nuts could make it worse, so I ll quit those for a while. But, I don t know what to eat right now. Any ideas?

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with pain and abdominal spasms heartburn post chemotherapy for previous ovarian cancer I am suggesting you are developing a side effects of chemotherapy
other side effects include weakness malaise headache dizziness diarrhoea joint pain myalgia anaemia
Yes orange juice and nuts can mimic the heartburn so Concerning what foods to avoid I will say avoid food containing pepper or spicy food
I hope this helps
Regards and get well soonest
