Stomach pain

[wife2jeff]

My husband had a low anterior resection in July and is currently doing chemo. About 5 days ago he started waking up in the middle of the night with a pain right below his belly button, it would last maybe an hour or two then he wouldn't have it at all during the day, it seemed to only come on at night. Then this morning he said the pain started around 5 am and it is still hurting, he says it's just a constant dull ache. This is the longest it's bothered him. Any ideas what this could be? We have a call into his oncologist but I am really scared it's something serious.

Sorry you guys have to go through all of this. I am sure your oncologist will get to the bottom of it.

Let us know what you find out.

Thanks Dave,
They got back to us yesterday and asked if he was constipated, and he is, they said it could be that but he's never had a pain before with constipation so we have a message into the Dr again, yesterday they didn't consult her it was just the MA, so today we messaged the dr. Just worried.

Totally normal to be nervous but I am guessing they know what they are talking about.

Hope you get to the bottom of it soon.
