    Hi,
    Diarrhea is the side effect of both 5FU and oxaliplatin.
    Diarrhea can be watery, or can be solid little pieces,or slurry like .
    As long as less than or equal to 4 times a day and follow doctor instruction to take Imodium to control the situation, it will be fine. Make sure hydration is adequate and if diarrhea occur more than 4 times per day, seek MD advice is highly recommended.
    God bless.

    Hi All,

    Mom finished her 5th round of oxiliplatin/F5U a week ago. After each round of chemo, she experiences frequent bowel movements around day 5-6. It’s not diahrrea. She usually has terrible cramps. The doctor said to take Immodium This time, she’s on day 8 and she still goes often. Today, she did not make it to the bathroom and had a lot to clean up.

    I am worried since my dad had something very similar towards the end of his cancer battle. He was in much worse shape though.

    Has anyone experienced this?

    Lauren
