Has been experiencing diarrhea, headache, mouth sores, and fatigue. How is everyone one else doing on this drug as of side effects and results? What is used to treat diarrhea? Thanks, Cathy  Dangerkitty214 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT My mother is currently taking Torisel and her doctor advised her to use Immodium for the diarrhea.

Is your mom in a study?What is the dose? Three treatments in two days? The side effects vary as to type and intensity, but the oncologist should know how to treat them. What is the oncologist recommending?T   Tommy12 Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT Update with mom: Her diarrhea has been taken care by an injection of octreotide and does not need loperamide intake so far (but has it at home just in case).-Cathy Dangerkitty214 Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT
