Drugs Because of Drugs

I have been having abdominal pain the last week or so, with it getting worse the last few days. I had an ultrasound yesterday to try and determine what might be causing the current pain. My doctor calls them "mystery pains", because the cause of a few of my severe abdominal pains could never be identified. Well, it turns out I have some inflammation in the junction between my stomach and small intestine. I probably have inflammation in my stomach and intestines, but they can't see it via ultrasound. I'm now on some medicine to hopefully reduce the inflammation and pain before I start Round 4 of chemo next Tuesday.

This inflammation is most likely a side effect of the chemotherapy drugs or other drugs that I have to take on a daily basis. I doubt it is because of my current chemotherapy diet of chips & dip and hot fudge sundaes.....
