Thanks Debbie for your suggestions!
I've been on/off chemo for the past 7 years & have been lucky to not struggle with much nausea. (In fact, a little compazine typically goes along way for me, but last week I switched to Zofran b/c I was having some break-through nausea).
So, just 1 Zofran dose before chemo & 1 the day after...then DAYS of constipation. UGH

It took me a couple of days to make the association, but finally figured it out.
Thus far, I've been eating a crazy amounts of prunes & clementines to try & get things going, but still struggling!
So now, as I walk out the door for chemo#101, as a proactive measure, I've eaten 4 prunes & taken 1 stool softener & a GIANT glass of water.
Thanks again!
