Managing those chemo side effects- Karima

[Guest guest]

So far Phil's has not been that bad BUT I find the guys seem to have much

more aversion to this (wearing Depends) than women do. Perhaps because of our

familiarity with other hygiene products.

I know when it had looked like this would be a problem about a year ago I

suggested the Depends and he about hit the roof!!

Still don't know if he will wind up with the runs from the Erbitux but this

time he said he'd try it if it came to that.

My understanding is that the pants really don't show under clothing.

In other words no one will know but you.

Is that true?

Hi Narice....

Adding to your advice; I found Colace in Walmart for $15.99 and the Equate

Brand of the same thing for $3.99. The ingredients are exactly the same so

be careful before you spend.

As far as the diarrhea...I wouldn't go anywhere without Depends or Poise.

You could really be embarrassed if pooh came through your clothes so much

better to be safe than sorry. I had a terrible day with this stuff yesterday;

I

was running in and out of stores. I hate it.

Just my 2 cents.
