    Hi,
    Based on what I can understand from your messages on the board.
    You had acid reflux symptoms before;you said you have UPPER LEFT abdominal pain,if so ,by location ,the pain is more relate to the stomach than to the liver.
    You did not mentioned the exact locations of the 3 liver tumors you had;but if they are on the left and upper side of the left lobe of the liver,the chance of causing pain on the upper left side is also a possibility.
    Chest tightness (ie: shortness of breath)can also cause you discomfort too because of the lung infection.
    Levaquin,is a board spectrum antibiotic used for pneumonia,cholangiitis to urinary tract infections and it is appropriate for lung infection. You will feel better after 3-4 days of treatment(ie: improvement on breathing and chest tightness) but make sure you finish the entire course of treatment of the antibiotic.
    If you think there is no improvement after the antibiotic treatment and the pain still persist; A visit to the GP or GI specialist is recommended.
    Again, I am not a doctor but a CCA patient like you .
    God bless.

    Dear Jtoro, my uneducated guess would be that the pain could be from your lung infection? Have you asked your doctor? I do know that Levaquin is one of the strongest anti biotics there is and that is what they gave Teddy every time he got one of those blood infections. I sure hope you are feeling better fast and find out what is causing that pain.

    I’m not a doctor, so can’t give any medical advise. I would suggest letting your docs know, if you haven’t already. You shouldn’t have to endure pain unabated.

    I have a question about pain. CC diagnosed in May 2010. I have been on Gemzar/xeloda for 18 months with stable scans each 6 weeks. The last few months I’ve had increasing upper abdominal pain and left side pain. If nothing has changed, why is my pain increasing? This last scan showed I have a lung infection, so I’m on Levaquin? I do take 1 vikodin daily for pain.
    Thank you,
    Jtoro
