Thanks everyone so much for replying!!
So just today I got my amylase and lipase numbers checked. They were all well within range and checked out OK.
Regarding the dairy mentioned above, I don't really eat much dairy besides a little cheese. No milk, creams, or foods with dairy in them. So, I'm thinking it may not be related.
I also have a CT scan set up for next week on Wednesday… the earliest they could get me in unfortunately. If my discomfort turns to pain or get worse in any way I will definitely go to the ER to expedite a scan.
I'm thinking it could still be inflammation, or maybe duodenitis? Or, it could be tumor related. In my abdomen was the largest tumor I had. It was 11 x 6 x 5 cm!! That's the size of a grapefruit! The Yervoy/Opdivo shrunk it down to about 1/5th the size after 3 treatments. So possibly it's discomfort from the shrinking tumor.
Or, another possibility that I just thought of is that my oncologist said that my last scan showed some inflammation in some lymph nodes. The inflammation did not concern him because he said they were almost certainly inflamed from the immunotherapy treatment based on the locations of inflammation. But maybe it's my lymph nodes around my stomach area?
All speculation or guesses. Can't wait to get that scan on Wed!!
