Does everyone get this, I’m struggling after 2nd chemo, just finished 7 days of injections, though I had diarrhoea last time this time I’m having more and more, started on Saturday was bad till Monday, was taking Imodium and eating just the BRAT diet, felt better today no pains no wind so good to go, after living off toast, bananas,rice and apple sauce I had 1 weetabix today and I have oat milk, omg felt like it wouldn’t stop, I don’t want to call the unit all they will do is get me to see them, but how long will this go in for as I really want decent food, I’m tired of this and hope when i go for the next chemo I can get help, does anyone have this problem lasting this long?
Hi there, it's really debilitating, isn't it, I feel for you. You might want to call and ask about the routine of taking Imodium and whether you should do this proactively as a way of preventing, rather than controlling. Best wishes
