Hi,

How long should Diarrhoea last as part of the side effects from Chemotherapy?

  • Hi  

    I think you probably meant to post this question in the breast cancer group, where I can see you've posted before. Clicking on the link I've created will take you straight back there.

    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:

    • you have diarrhoea at night
    • you have diarrhoea more than 4 times in a day
    • the anti-diarrhoea drugs do not work within 24 hours.
