Trying a solution for the pain

     My doctor recommended temporarily (?) holding back from taking the Lynparza for a couple days and taking a heart burn med called Omeprazole.  So, yesterday and the night before, I did not take the pills.  I took the Omeprazole pill yesterday AM and ate very little portions often during the day, staying away from any grease or acidic food or drink.  The pain was still there but slightly less.  I finally took Tylenol which really helps later in the day.  The question in my mind is, is the Lynparza "burning" a hole in my stomach?  Heartburn is a side effect of these pills among many other things.           
     
Another far reaching question I may have is, is quality of life included in a burning feeling in my stomach worth it to stay on these pills if they are in fact causing this discomfort?  All questions that go around in my head!
        I called the cancer center yesterday afternoon as requested to report in.  Dr. Paul recommended continuing taking the Omeprazole for a week so I will take the next pill this morning (once a day in the AM recommended before breakfast) and go easy on the food intake again. I am to call in a report again this afternoon and she will tell me whether or not to continue on the Lynparza yet.  My scheduled appointment with her is July 22 after the CT scan on July 12!  
         I am really praying this pain goes down.  Guess I may be losing weight again(?).
         The trouble with pain is, it wears you down physically and mentally because you cannot ignore it!
          It reminds me of the apostle Paul's request in  II Cor. 12 when he asks God to remove the "thorn in his flesh" 3 times and the Lord says, "my grace is sufficient for you....".   I am not Paul but I will have to take the pain and rely on the doctor's opinions on what it can be.  I didn't think I had reflux or heartburn because I don't have indigestion so to speak, but, hey, might as well try all the remedies that the doc wants to try:):):)
           Meanwhile, to believe what the Lord tells us with " my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" is in His big picture!  Now I am praying about this challenge!
           Meanwhile, more reports  will be forthcoming as this condition progresses or diminishes.
