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 Itsallgood Sat, 01 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT 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 Harrietg.
