Hi Nanc,
My oncologist also told me to take Imodium for diarrhea. I believe your only supposed to take 4 in 24 hours.

Why don't you give him a call, he's dealt with probably every side affect from the chemo.
Try the Imodium until you do talk to him
Keep in touch.

P.S. Shewrites, I agree with you, constipation is the pits!

Imodium usually works for me.  Don't overdo it, though, or you'll get constipated -- and that's worse, at least for me.
