Hi my husband has had extremely runny poos that smell and is feeling very unwell. Is this a reaction to the chemo round 4.
Hi Ann25 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and this wasn't a side effect of chemotherapy that I experienced. He should have been given a 24 hour emergency phone number to ring whilst having chemotherapy and, as you say that "he is feeling very unwell", I'd recommend that he gives the number a call immediately. If he doesn't have an emergency contact number, then he should phone the hospital where he has his chemo and ask to be put through to the chemo suite.
