When my father was going through treatment, he took Miralax daily to help with constipation. It was really a guessing game each day trying to figure out what his body needed or how it would react. He was also on oxycodone and a fentanyl patch, which definitely made things worse in that department.

If your friend is dealing with similar issues, small comforts can really help --things like gentle teas, electrolyte drinks, or easy-to-digest foods. Honestly, anything that brings comfort or eases the day-to-day routine- soft pajamas, warm socks/compression socks, magnesium soaks, or just meals that don’t upset the stomach- goes a long way. Best of luck sending positivity!
