Anyone have flat stools coming off Immodium?

Postby recruiter » Wed Feb 15, 2017 2:33 pm

My stools have been formed over the past few months, but I just had a huge, yet flat, one about an inch wide coming off an Immodium that I took so I could go out Monday. Scans last month showed no tumor growth.

Anyone else noticed this?
DX Stage 4 2/16 with lung mets
4/16 CT, PET show "marked improvement" in size and number of lung mets, rectal tumor.
8/16 "Great report" from scans, lung mets continue to shrink in size and number, CEA 1.6, cancer "in remission" but surgeon believes tumor remains too large.
10/16 Xrays for constipation problems reveal tumor occupies 25 percent of rectal canal: Occupied 80 percent upon diagnosis 2/16
12/16 Back on Avastin; tumor can be removed, but need better margins.
