Martin, that does not sound like it was pleasant. You must’ve been grateful to have been able to connect with a symptom management nurse before the holiday. I’m tagging @jennipwalters @bea1972 @opheli @suziq52 @kenc and others to see if they have experienced similar issues with constipation while on chemo and what helped.

How are you doing today, Martin?

Thanks, Colleen. Any advice / tips from others would be much appreciated. It's a lot better now and so it could have been the combination of the Oxaliplatin, Capecitabine (Xeloda), steroid and anti-sickness pills during the first 3 days that caused the constipation? But nearing the end of the first cycle and a 7 day holiday coming up before starting the second cycle. Yippee!
