Hi @Number2 my diarrhoea took about 3-4 days to settle. I didn’t experience it so intensely with the first dose but it’s possibly because I didn’t (for a variety of reasons) take any Maxollon after the first treatment. Maxollon is the anti nausea medication that the nurses cautioned can sometimes contribute to a runny tummy. After my second treatment I had it but the nurse on the ward mentioned it’s side effects can be balanced out with Ondansetron (the other anti nausea drug) as it can have the opposite side effect, and so counteracts the runny tummy.
In the next few chemo rounds I reduced how frequently I took these anti nausea drugs.
I hear your reservations - a supportive partner comes into their own! We are very fortunate with our facilities in my regional city but it is worth considering the risk of encountering other possible sources of infection when you’re immuno suppressed, so yes there’s a quandary if you need to go in and if you do, best to mask up. Sending you lots of positive vibes, and hopes for a firmer 🙃better day ahead ❤️🌸🌻
