Re: constipation then diahrrea.......give up
Hi KG
First off, your mom shouldn't be comparing herself to anyone else.
Everyone handles chemo differently. Don't let her beat herself up
because someone else didn't have all of her problems.
The constipation can be wicked. I know that someone, I think it might have been Flori, suggested taking metamucil every day ... even with the Big D.
Did you get any advice from her nurse regarding the bowel issues ... I used Senekote S with tons of water and it worked for me.
Keep the faith. The treatments get harder to take as they accumulate.
How many will she be having?
