Chemo side affects
Hi my friends, Cindi here, I'm reaching out to you because my chemo nurse told me although my cancer isn't breast cancer now ( I had that last year) my new cancer is actually called bladder canc...
That's a bugger, @Cindi ....You've had a lot to put up with in recent months xx I hope you are going OK xx.
I have occasional bouts of diarrhoea (not chemo related) that puts Pico Prep for a colonoscopy to shame ..... but have never had ongoing constipation, tho hubby did. :( He ate LOTS of prunes (not the juice - as there is more bulk in the actual prunes - and they taste surprisingly nice!) ... and he did the Movicol thing & coloxyl if it got really bad .... What quantities of Movicol & Coloxyl are you on? Have you talked to your Onc about it? Could you ask your breast care nurse (even tho it relates to the new diagnosis? They may have some good ideas too?) xx
Check out this post started earlier this year ..... if you whack an answer on it, I reckon lots more people will jump on as well, with their remedies xx
