The "Fighting Breast Cancer" Blog:  Most blogs put the "most recent" entry at the top of the page.  My Fighting Breast Cancer blog starts with my first doctor's visit.  If you would like to skip to the most recent entry, please see the Journal Entries section on the left side of this page.

June 3rd, 2005 Chemo and Constipation

I know that this is a gross subject, but I would really not be painting a truthful picture of chemotherapy if I didn’t include this issue.  Chemo induces a constipation that puts to shame every other force of chemotherapy evil.

The doctors told me that I am not to take laxatives, but I can take stool softeners.  I eat these like candy.  Still nothing.  This isn’t good.  Where do they go?  It’s like my body is just absorbing everything and nothing ever comes out.  I know that when the time is right however, The Gates will finally open.  And then I’ll be sorry.
