I've drank prune juice, taken laxatives. Still just a giant Hershey's kiss lodged in there.

If you’re impacted. Aka log jam in the rectum, then you may need to work from the bottom too. Glycerin suppositories with KY prior to insertion and consider milk and molasses enema. And Mag Citrate oral preps work pretty quickly.

I'll try that next time. Max ex-lax worked it's magic. My guts are evacuated.

The pharmacist at CVS briarcliff made a stink about it, convinced it was a typo.

A call from my oncologist set them straight.

The stink is going to be made when the gates open.

The first of many. Repeated gut flushings will have you looking like an extra from "300" with nary a sit-up. A few months from now strangers will wish they knew our health secret.

I'm by no means terminal and also suffering a different disease, but I was thinking about Lou Gehrig's timeless quote from his retirement speech;

"Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth."

It makes so much sense to me now

Kyle Chandler was there with someone when I got the infusion at TO .I wasn't sure it was him until I heard him speak. Distinctive voice.

Colonoscopy done.  Not a polyp in sight, unlike my last checkup where I had 3.   5 years reprieve till next one. Woot! 

Also, my discharge paperwork says, and I quote: “polyp, detection was aided by AI assisted image processing”. 

Tell your friends and family to go get the damn colonoscopy so you won’t have to post on this thread.

My first infusion I was next to a lady from Mississippi who would have been picked to play Sympathetic Sassy Character in Movie Set in Mississippi. She was on the phone telling a friend about her platelet count, which seemed low, but she was taking it in stride like a dog had tee-teed in her petunias.

My first thought was that I needed to be half as tough as little old ladies. My second was that I was glad to live maybe three miles from the clinic.

Blood work came back good and typical for this treatment. No need for transfusion, but shouldn't be indoors with the filthy public.

You ARE the filthy public.  So, that may be a problem.

Thats great, everyone is different on when they need transfusions. I watched some people need them after treatment and some people never did. 

Avoiding more time hooked up to stuff is nice.

One more hour.

Any recommendations for chemo constipation?

Already taken all the laxatives they have here

chemo constipation is no joke.  I got horrific internal hemorrhoids from chemo.  I was losing a LOT of blood.  I was getting super lightheaded and fainting a lot.  Finally went to urgent care and they tested my hemoglobin.  It was 4.7.  He called ahead to the ER and said I need to get there STAT.  Wife drove me to the ER, where normally you wait 2-3 hours.  I was whisked into the back to a treatment  room in about 90 seconds, and 2 minutes later was receiving a blood transfusion.  Was in the hospital for 3 days.  Any hemoglobin count under 5 can lead to organ shutdown and death.

After all the lax I put a glove on and finger blasted my ring piece. Only way to be sure.

Left hand?
