I didn't have diarrhoea while having chemotherapy but everyone's side effects are different. If you haven't already, it might be a good idea to phone your chemo hotline number as they can prescribe drugs to help.
Clicking here will take you to information about side effects while on chemotherapy including this information on when you should contact your hospital:
Contact the hospital straight away if:
