      I'm due for my third round of ipi next Wednesday. The closer I get to being done this treatment, the sooner I'll know if it's been working and or continues to work.

      Today I started to feel a bit dizzy. Not at all the time – just waves from time to time. I also have an upset stomach – lots of stomach gas that rises up and makes me feel a bit nauseus.  Has anyone experienced this before??  I've also been experiencing acid reflux and burning in my chest which I also had with dacarbazine.  I've always had a bad stomach before cancer, but these treatments have made them worse! 

      Any feedback would be greatly appreciated so I don't feel alone in these symptoms.

          Yep, upset stomach, sore/tender upper abdomen just under ribs, nausea, gas/bloating—started between round 3/4 and is still going one month after 4.  They insist it isn't related but I think  it must be. Liver/pancreatic blood panels are fine so not sure what it is.  More tests this week.

              Hi Lisa,

              My father is due to start his 3rd round of ipi on Wednesday..He too is experiencing odd abdominal pains. He describes it as if there is some activity going on he just cant pin point it. He also is fatigued and has had some night sweats and chills.

              we will be thinking about you during your next treatment and will be saying prayers!
