Hello Erin,
I agree with the hemorroid issue. I, too, had some really bad constipation while on chemo and also experienced "problems." Oh, the humiliation of it all, huh? but, hey, what are you gonna do. You are almost done YAHOO and your body will get back to normal (whatever the heck normal is) is due time. Hang in there. You are doing awesome AND I think you are following a regimen that is not only SMART but is offering you the absolute greatest protection from recurrence. I don't blame you a bit for letting your onc. bring out the "big guns" - hec2neu related breast cancer NEEDS the "big guns."
Sending hugs from me to you and can't wait till we get a post from you saying "did LAST chemo today." I can almost feel your joy from where I'm sitting!
Mary Jo
