Nope, not cancer, and not chemo, but: constipation! Oh lord have mercy on my intestines. Day 4 after treatment and I am balled up in pain. I was told to keep up the stool softeners, but I didn't understand the seriousness of it. The nurse explained that even if you use stool softeners, the zofran stops digestion, so nothing will move without constant laxatives. I hate cramping so I avoided them and now I am feeling the pain. The stomach ache accentuates my headache and nausea and overall makes me miserable.
I've learned a valuable lesson as I now write this entry with a little cup of c, (coffee).
Entries and experiences of a breast cancer survivor going through treatment, motherhood and life.
