Well, depending on how you score it, I’m either a quarter or a third of the way through chemo and it just keeps getting worse. Although I am medicating myself better. Adjusting things in a strategic way. Like with Imodium. The directions tell you to take it only after you’ve had a bowel movement. Well, sorry, that’s too late. I had diarrhea from Tuesday to Sunday last time using that method - it just didn’t work for me (could it be just me?). This time I was proactive and just took it twice a day for the first three days, bowel movement or not. Now, I did get worried after the third day without any BM and that’s when I decided to stop taking it. I wanted to stop the diarrhea not the whole system. I can now say that I’ve gotten through Sunday with perfectly normal stool. One small victory for me. I’ve conquered my own poop. Whoopee!
