My close relative had a Stem Cell Transplant 5 days ago. Today she is experiencing “ excruciating “ abdominal pain. Is this severe abdominal pain a normal post operative problem following a Stem Cell Transplant?

My thanks to all who respond.

Hi @pgcdds Oh gosh, I’m so sorry your friend is having such excruciating abdominal pain! Severe pain isn’t usual but it isn’t out of the realm of possibility. I hope she has talked to her transplant team. They need to know this ASAP.

What type of stem cell transplant did your friend have? Was she able to use her own cells or did she have donor cells. If these were her own, the pain can be a side effect of her conditioning chemo or medication or myriad other influences. If she had donor cells this could be a sign of Graft vs host disease. Or again, the side effects of chemo and meds. Either way, this needs to be addressed very quickly to find the cause.

Let me know, ok?
