its been 3 years since I had CHOPR, 8 treatments. I am in that situation right now. I go 2 days feeling bloated and then I take a laxative and the next day its diarrhea. During my CHOPR  I had it bad also. Mostly diarrhea. You feel constipated because your system is weak. Give it a while after the last treatment, things should change. Tell his Chemo doctor about the problem, they may suggest something. My situation now is due to medications I take for problems after the Cancer. Hopefully soon I can get off those meds  and I can also return to normal. My prayers go out to you and your husband.
