How long can pleurodynia pain last after appendix cancer treatment?
Community Member
4 months agoMy primary cancer was appendiceal, which metastasized to the peritoneum. I’ve been on maintenance chemo, currently on a two month break due to stomach pain and other side effects. Most recently I had pleurodynia which supposedly only last 4 to 6 days, but I still get a recurring sharp pain under the ribs and trapezius. It seems like the stomach pain is every day, due to resection & anastomis. anyone else have this?
Accepted Answer
Pleurodynia pain can sometimes persist longer than the typical 4-6 day timeframe, especially when dealing with cancer treatment and the complex recovery process. The ongoing discomfort you're experiencing with sharp pains and daily stomach issues after your surgical procedures is something that others in this community may relate to, and it's worth discussing these persistent symptoms with your medical team to ensure you're getting the best support for pain management during your treatment break.

3 months agoI’m sorry to hear you going through this. I am currently not on any treatment but my numbers on CA 125 and Signatera continue to go up but scans still show nothing so treatment is on hold. My doctor says he does not want to treat a number.
