Chemo fricks with the body in so many ways. It would take Miralax days to work on me, same for a stool softener and the unpredictability was misery. Finished with chemo for a year, but the immunotherapy was screwing with me, too. My body still isn’t back to normal.

This is my mom. Add to it that she's been dependent on laxatives her entire life, and has had two bowel obstructions requiring surgery. Cancer treatments just add insult to injury. I've tried to convince her to give Miralax a go, but she's insistent it doesn't work. A gastro gave her Linzess, but she's too hesitant to try it because she's afraid she's going to end up crapping herself during a dr's appt. So she takes laxatives to go and Imodium to stop. I'm at wit's end.
