I just had my second fec treatment today and am hoping to avoid a recurrence of some of the side affects. One being a problem bowel. On day 6 I ended up on a drip in emergency, dehydrated, and having a non functional bowel didn’t help. They gave me a liquid and a couple of hours later I thought I was peeing, turned out it was both. There were no stomach pains which sometimes occur with laxatives. This time around the oncologist has recommended Movical, just purchased today. I think it might have been what I took in emergency as the ED recommended Movical too. I haven’t had any yet, so I can tell you what to expect.
Make sure you take something that is gentle, with senna in it. I’d steer clear of strong laxatives especially if your like me and your bowels are irregular anyway. I bought the movical today at Chemist Ware house. On special for 13.95, 30 sachets. And it comes in different flavours. I’m trying the plain. Good luck xxx
