Hi Barbara, just wanted you to know, It's all worth it. You hang in there and stay up.  I took stool softs everyday just to be safe.  The meds really mess with your body. Thanks for the update, keep in touch we are all here for you, God Bless

keep up the good spirit! i found that pains in my legs only lasted about 3 days & had 2 good weeks for every bad week! i also started the stool softeners the day before chemo so there wouldn't be too much backup! that was the only thing that helped + laxative drops, but the antinausea pills (cause of constipation) were well worth it; when i felt a bit nauseous i drank coke, managed not to throw up once! hang in there, there are only 6 treatments! harriet

thanks  for all the  input   from  every one  , i cant  believe how  good i been feeling   i tell  every one   and  my self including to  just hang in there too   thnks for the in put  on  to  tk  stool  softener  before  chemo it  will help me   so i will do it   .
