Hi,
Just wondering if anyone suffered with constipation during FLOT chemo treatment? My dad just had his first cycle on Wednesday and hadn't managed to go to toilet since Tues. He's been in agony today with pain as he's been unable to go. It was terrible seeing him suffer. I got him dulcolax which he took last night. Then this morning he had to have a suppository, which still didn't help things to move. I'd rang the emergency chemo line and they prescribed sachets to mix with water ( like fybogel) . Eventually this afternoon he managed to pass it. He's absolutely exhausted now, but he's worried this could happen again. He's been on a lot of anti sickness meds and taken codeine lately which can all have an effect. I've urged him to drink lots and lots as he is probably dehydrated too. I just wondered if anyone has had this happen and if so how have you managed it to avoid future episodes like this? Thanks x
