Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a breast cancer patient, and my treatment is going on. Due to metastasis to the ovary, laparoscopic bilateral oophorectomy was done two months back. Currently, I am taking Trastuzumab and Letrozole 2.5 mg. After the oophorectomy, I have pain in the lower abdomen and lower back. I am vomiting after each and every meal, and I am unable to drink water. I went to the hospital and consulted a urologist, who suggested some antibiotics and ultrasound and CT scan of the abdomen. After viewing the report, which I have attached, the doctors advised for double J ureteral stenting. I need a second opinion.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have seen the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The suggestion of double J stenting is appropriate. You have a back pain, which may be arising from the right kidney with mild dilatation. Your creatinine is normal. Double J stent will drain the kidney. But, this will need repeated change of the stent and the symptoms and problems of double J stent will be there. Stenting may help you with present symptoms, and it is a simple procedure. I suggested it, but in reality, there is a possibility that your symptoms may not be relieved.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
What is the solution? Is there any remedy? Is vomiting linked to that?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I would link your vomiting to the chemotherapy. Lower back and abdominal pain may be a sign of oophorectomy before six weeks. Kindly consult your oncologist for same.
