Yes he takes a prescription for the loose bowels. Three times a day. The problem is his diet. He loves to eat. He does not eat what he use to, he just eats the wrong things. We are very Italian if that explains it. It just seems like everyday is a nightmare for both of us. Thank you for your kind advise. Hope your treatment gets better for you also! Gracie

Yes It does!

I'm in the same place as you and live in AZ. I'm at mayo often. Send me an email if you want to meet up

Are you me? Sounds like we are going through the same thing at the same place at the same time.

Just reached the 1/2 way mark with Folfox. Surgery to put me back together in October.

Hope you are doing well.

I will have laparascopic surgery on August 15. I may need chemotherpy after I heal. Do you have any advice for me about chemotherapy? Thank you, Mike aka Rain

Welcome I see you were diagnosed 8 months ago which means you might be nearing the end of chemo etc I hope so Remember it will take a whiie to recover but you will be fine even 20 years from now. My sister is 9 years out and I have lots of patients who are 20 years out. I am nearing my one year anniversary for completing chemo and loving my new hair (chemo curls)
