Hi I was diagnosed with NHL indolent stage 4, in June of this year. My cancer is in both sides of my neck, bothsides of my armpits in my bone marow and spleen. I just completed my second chemo cycle 1 week ago. I am on chemo tablets - Leukeran. Since Saturday I've had terrible stomach cramps and vomiting. Is this related to the cancer and treatment?

Michele, I suspect that your current symptoms are related to the chemotherapy but you really should consult your doctor about this. At the very lest, your medical team can do something to control your symptoms.

Hi Jim
The cramps has finally subsided. I will definitely speak to my doctor about it with my next visit.
I feel a whole lot better today, and I am sure this will last until my next chemo cycle start.
