    Anyone have any tips for dealing with abdominal cramping during Taxol? Not trying to sound like a wimp but this has been fairly rough and to be honest I expected a bit less for my first week. The cramping comes and goes for most of the day.

    I have this also it kinda feels like menstrual cramps to me. I also have what I call roaming pain all over my body but it comes and goes. I was taking to me nurse about it and she said to try glutamine one teaspoon 3 times a day. I haven’t been great about asking it regularly but I think it was a little better this last time. Mine pains and cramp last for two or three days and then it’s stops till the next treatmeant.

    margecandoit - glad I’m not alone! I also have the roaming pain you’re talking about. It doesn’t last very long but it’s definitely happening. I had my first hot flash today too. This is day 4 for me after my first chemo and I felt great all day until about 4:00 and then I got the sickliness again. Sucks. Was hoping forthe whole day off from that.
