Do any of you have any suggestions for slowing down or stopping diarreah from Chemo? I have taken imodium and lomotil. Everything including water goes right through me. I am expecting all of my kids and grandkids for the holiday week and don't want them to see me like this...I know there are so many of you battling much worse than I...and I do appreciate your help.
Thanks Marie

Marie,
Oh no...what a terrible feeling. If I remember correctly the doctor tells you to try all those remedies you have taken and if that does not work I think you are to call them and let them know so they can get it stopped. You do not want to get dehydrated or sick before the family comes to visit! Stan's doctors are on call so if you can make a call in I would to put a stop to it. Stan had it this week during chemo, but got thru it without little medicine so he was fortunate.
I hope you find something and what a terrible feeling. Have a beautiful Holiday with the family!
Maybe someone else on the posting board has any ideas?
