Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
It is suggested that you get a complete review of your symptoms done at the hospital. After cancer, most people become slightly weak and this happens due to reduced immunity. You might be having a lowered immune status which can cause increased susceptibility to infections.
Please consult your doctor and get a complete blood count and basic investigations like a chest X ray and ultrasound scan done. These investigations might reveal a possible cause for your chest pain and pain in abdomen which requires treatment. Taking healthy nutritious food and adequate amounts of fluids and fresh juices is good. Please do not worry.
