Constipation

My sympathies Kay!
I had horrible constipation when going through chemo and I agree with Mickey, the problem for me was the anti-nausea medication. I used to take two stool softners the day before and for two or three days after chemo along with a high fibre diet and a bowl of All-Bran each evening before I went to bed. I did cut down the anti nausea medication to one pill in an effort to manage the constipation, but still was constipated and had to manage (after the initial first 2-3 days) throughout the 3- week cycle with stool softners off and on.
Best Wishes
Joan
