Diarrhoea-Chemotherapy or Phesgo?

Hi,

Chemotherapy is 6 x Carboplatin and Taxotere and I’m also on Phesgo injections x 18. The first week to 10 days after each treatment is basically spent on the toilet and I’m increasingly exhausted- this is no 4. No-one can confirm whether it’s the chemo or Phesgo that’s causing the diarrhoea. I’m on a full dose of Coedine daily, Imodium after every evacuation and an antiemetic which has constipation as a side effect. However, none of the above is working. Does anyone have any other ideas/recommendations? 
Has anyone else been told whether it’s the chemotherapy or Phesgo that’s causing it?
Thanks.

Hello. This sounds awful and exhausting. I too was on phesgo and at times had diahorrea, but have no idea which of the toxic cocktail causes it. Saying that, when I was just on phesgo I didn’t have it … so perhaps it’s the chemo drugs. Hope you get some answers soon xx
