I am on second week of Irinotecan + Cetuximab. The flood gates opened this week with pretty significant diarrhea for the past two days. I called oncologist office and was told to double up my immodium dosage and see how that works for me. I have a colostomy so I can only gauge by how often and quickly that fills up... I feel tied to my house now because I have no idea how quickly it's going to fill and I dread that thought of a spill in public.
Are there other anti-diarrhea drugs that I should ask for? I am trying to keep hydrated and eat but everything is just running right through me. Feeling okay otherwise, some fatigue that I didn't have last week but overall pretty good except for the continuous runs.
Any suggestions and advice appreciated!
Thanks,
Shana
