Thank you for the suggestions for dealing with constipation. Dr's office said a stool softener. I was just trying to be ahead of it! And I'm not sure if that will be enough. I haven't done much walking lately so I appreciate the suggestion.
It is good to connect with others who have gone thru hard things like this. I had never heard of vulvar cancer before my diagnosis. It is hard to talk about!

Here's my experience; for some reason, my only side effect of my immunotherapy is constipation. Odd because normally it's the opposite!! My Dr prescribed Lactulose..it's a liquid medication I've never heard of before, but it works like a charm. The stool softeners didn't work well enough for me, so now I take both. No more problems!!!
