Bathroom issues
Hi, Irene,
Looking at the product information sheet for Temodar (it's a PDF, give it a minute to load), it seems it can cause both constipation and diarrhea, not sure how that is possible. I think you should talk to her doctor about this, it sounds like more than a side effect. Good luck to you and your mom,

Chemo in general is well
Chemo in general is well known to cause GI tract and bowel issues. When i was on 3 different chemos (cisplatin, bleomycine, and etoposide). I had bouts of no bowel movements for a week then i would go 7 times one day, then it mannaged to get to be more normal. My cancer was not brain so i didnt take Temodar. (mmmmm perhaps Temodar should change its name to "DoUDare")0 -

wow...im sure the temodar has alot to do with all these issues shes having...because the bowel incontinenece didnt start till she started the the higher dose of temodar...they have put her in a higher dose of steroids to see if it helps the problem...i dont like the steroids but if its the only way my mom can function for now then so be it....0
