taxol and abdominal pain

Just had first treatment of taxol.  Having severe abdominal pain and discomfort when urinating.  I have had about 2 qts of water today.  I am urinating so that is at least good.  So here we are the 4th of July and I don't know whether to call the 24 hour number to my oncologist.  I had to call yesterday because I was having facial flushing and swelling but the benadryl helped take care of that.  Anyone experienced this with taxol?

 Also experiencing pain in the instestine with a lot of gas and loose stools.  The pain is sharp pain and achy pain and has been pretty constant now for 24 hours.  I'm exhausted.

My father-in-law had his first treatment with Taxol and then Carboplatin last Thursday. Last night, he had severe stomach pain. Once he took his pain medication, he slept through the night, but then this morning, his stomach was hurting him again. So, it's not so much his abdomen as his stomach that's bothering him.

Ihad taoxol for 12 weeks straight and never had any side effects. I would check with my doctor immediately.
