My mom started her first round of chemo this week-carboplatin and fluorouracil for the last five days and now three days later she is feeling soreness in her stomach, not so much nausea but a type of soreness. Is this a common side effect with this drug? Any information you could give would be great. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, I will have to tell my mom to tell her doctor about the pain, it is worrying all of us.
Thanks again
