@hopeful33250 Thanks, I will look there. Was referring to recovery from high dose radiation which I had last spring. Even though I am currently in remission with low CA19 I've been having some stomach pain.

Do your doctors think that the stomach pain is related to the radiation treatment?

@stillaround I had 15 sessions of IMRT in Aug. Intensity modulated radiation therapy. I was warned beforehand by the rad. oncologist that I may experience some stomach discomfort. I did and it was considerable. He told me after the pain started at approx. 8 sessions, that the reason the pain was occurring was that the rad. beam had to be brought very close to my stomach in order to hit the pancreatic tumor. There were 2: pancreas and liver. Now, in Oct., the stomach pain has faded considerably and he called it "inflammation". I won't have the results of the PET scan and MRI until late next week and am hoping/praying for the best. Have patience @stillaround. I think your stomach pain will dissipate over time.
