As dicussed before, I was having some issues which at first scared me, but then my oncologist perscribed me the entocort and immodium, Today I just started the Entocort because I was feeling nauseus. I know the internet says that nausea is normal with crohns disease and just wanted to know if anyone has experienced the nausea with this problem? It's very mild nausea and comes and goes. Because of this, I don't have much of an appetite which is completely understandable.

I just want to know if this is what others have experienced. When I asked my Dr. why he's just giving me a perscription and not concerned about the cancer, he said that the symptoms I was having was colitis. Since way before cancer, I've had acid reflux and hiatal hernia which have become worse since all my treatment, so it's hard to know what the heck is happening. Having cancer, anything bothers you even though it could be completely normal.
Isn't it strange how I had no symptoms while on ipi (except for rash and itching) and now, 3 months after finshing, I've got the rash, itchy head, intestinal problems and nausea! My immune system is definately kicking in again!

I’m only on my second round of IPI and I’m having a lot of side effects. When I had the scope done yesterday they said in the OR that it was a good sign the the IPI was working. So even though it has been 3 months for you, I hope it means it’s working for you too!-

Some people have late immune responses, so this is very normal what I'm going through.
When I finished ipi, I had a 12 week and 16 week scanned which showed 50% shrinkage in lung mets and some even disappeared. My next ct scan is in 2 weeks, so I hope things are still looking great.
I hope that when you're done ipi and have your scans, that things look great for you!
