fo/cc and constipation


Sandy Lightfoot
 

Hello Regina!

Since I used to have Stage 1V Ovarian Cancer (dx 4 years ago), I feel I may
be able to pass along a few things I learned while I was going through
chemo. First of all, the chemo itself causes constipation. If your Mom has
to take iron pills, they also cause constipation, so does Tylenol. Most of
the women (with OvCa) I know, take Sennakot and stool softeners to relieve
constipation, but the Dr's don't suggest it unless one asks.

Add some ground flaxseed to the FO/CC mixture and I'm sure it will help. If
you need to ask me anything else regarding this, my e-mail is
spp@...

Good Luck to you and your Mom.
Sandy Lightfoot.

I would also add that black tea is binding and causes constipation.
So watch your intake of hot and ice tea.
