Hi @Number2
I’m sorry to hear about your diarrhoea ❤️ I was strongly encouraged by the oncology nurses on the day ward to attend emergency if I had concerns, especially if my temp went above 37.

With your symptoms ongoing I would agree with @arpie 🙃
I did have to go into ED (after one of my doses) with a temperature, diarrhoea, thrush and dehydration on a a Saturday night. ED ran all the tests and because I was dehydrated they admitted me overnight, but I was otherwise fine. I remember the oncology nurses assuring me it was better to come in and not to be too reliant on Gastro Stop, because it could be masking other issues.
The nurses also explained that some people found the anti nausea drugs I was prescribed could cause a bit of diarrhoea so I was careful with those.

I also realised I might not have been starting Gastro Stop properly- that is 2 Gastro Stop tablets at the first signs on diarrhoea and then 1 thereafter at the recommended intervals.
I’m sorry you don’t have a breast care nurse you can call 😔
Hope your tummy settles soon 🌸 I was on toast, peanut butter and banana and dry biscuits during this phase.
