Because of where I will be staying for my treatment is close to a hospital , they have referred me there to make my movement easier. I am yet to receive a call from the new team of doctors. Hopefully I will be called by the end of this week 🙏. All is well with me just that I get this severe constipation and abdominal pains 😢 which I take paracetamol to calm it done so I can't wait to start treatment. Did anyone had this symptoms and what did you do to help???

For constipation, many take Miralax or psyllium husk (capsules or powder). For the abdominal pain, ask your doctor if Buscopan is an option for you. Trimebutine can help with the motility; again, you should ask your doctor.
Also, make sure you drink lots of water and eat lots of fiber in your food, starting with fruits and vegetables.
