Hi all, I started my treatment Monday with the first day having intravenous chemotherapy and then radiotherapy. I did not expect to have such a stomachache on the third day just passing pellets! The radiotherapist said it would not be the radiotherapy causing it and more likely the chemotherapy. I expect I shall have the other after this. She told me to take some senna which hopefully will give me relief tomorrow before my early morning appointment. I have read on here that some take lactulose and is this better?
Hi Jaycee12,
My advice would be to ask for some stool softener sachets on repeat prescription. These have been lifesavers for me as unusually I was constipated throughout & after treatment. My surgeon told me not to take laxatives but stool softeners were fine. I’ve always used Movicol or laxido.
