    Bridgett…..you may want to discuss with your physician CREON (pancrelipase) to ease the digestive issues. Small amounts of food are good, but try to stay high in protein and sit up right while eating followed by moving around. Also try to determine which food cause the most discomfort and make sure to have regular bowel movements. Lastly, please discuss this with the physician and ask for an explanation of the pain radiating to the back.
    Good luck, dear Bridgette, and please keep us posted.

    Hugs,
    Marion

    I am on Genzar only now and the side affects seems to affect me more than when I was on Gemzar/Cisplatin. I have mild nausea, aching on my right side and back and have heartburn and gas. I do have a small hiatal hernia and wonder if that is what is causing the heartburn and causing the pain. I also can’t eat more than a small amount or I don’t digest the food very well. I will only take the anti-nausea meds if the nausea is bad as it says it can cause constipation.
