Re: Irinotecan Diarrhea Issue

Hey Brown,

When I was Irinotecan, I had the same problem... I was in pain in my bottom every few days from the swelling.. miserable for sure. I lost 37 pounds while on it. My Dr had to decrease the dose and I started to alternate Lomotil and Immodium..

hang in there..

Re: URGENT DOUBT please?

The first time that I received oxy... I always got benedryl and decadron, but since I started this time around, I have never received Benedryl. I do get a little decadron, but not a huge dose because it makes my head hurt sooo soo bad..

Hope this helps a little..
