    hi. JUST WANNA KNOW IF ANYONE HAS THIS SIDE EFFECT. Just started my 1st cycle. Its been 4hrs and my my chest hurts a bit. Its like compressing but not that bad. Like 2 out of 10 pain scale. But its not normal for me. I just wanna know if anyone has experienced it. I feel normal other than that. No stomach pain or nausea or anytging. Just my chest is compressing at the center and its bugging me out. I can breath normally but theres a stabbing pain. Compressing my chest. My onc said that it may be the meds reacting. Im not thinking well right now. And im freaking out. And also, do u wear masks? Just wondering. Thank u for ur time! I appreciate it so much if someone could tell me im not the only one experiencing this.

    Cassie: this is not a very active thread. I don't remember that SE & didn't wear a mask. But I recommend you try the link below to the January Chemo thread, or see if there is a new February thread yet.

    heartburn perhaps? I had it. Scared me initially. OTC helped but didn’t get rid of it completely. Talkto your MO.

    Hi all, not sure if this is the right place to post this but Im having a weird chemo side effect & hoping one of you have advice! I'm on round 2 of taxotere, carboplatin, herceptin & Perjeta (given every 3 weeks).

    I’m managing pretty well - but I have weird gas/bubbles in my throat. Feels like I'm going to vomit, or somethimes it feels like there is vomit in my throat - but with no retching, and I dont actually vomit. Not accompanied by the usual dizzy/motion sick feelings of nausea. It won't go away. I'm taking compazine for nausea, I tried brioschi and alka seltzer and gargling with baking soda water on recommendation of onco nurses - didn't help. 🤢 any ideas of what I can do?

    I had a burning feeling in my throat that lasted throughout chemo. My MO said it was acid reflux and recommended Prilosec OTC and Pepcid AC. These meds helped with the discomfort, but the feeling didn't go away completely until one month after finishing chemo.

    Hope you find some relief.

    I am on day6 of my first cycle. I noticed a tightness and discomfort when breathing in deeply, but it has improved quite a bit. Not sure if this helps.

    Cassie, I recommend going to have it checked out.  If MO won't do it, then ER will.  Stabbing pain and compressing at the center are worrisome.
