Hi

Can see that the lovely Lucie has given you a handly link and the nurses number to call.  I thought I would welcome you to the forum and can understand your concern at Mum's symptoms.  Telling the team that are treating Mum would definitely be number one on the list as soon as possible as they like to know of any side effects so they can be looked into/treated as soon as they appear.  My husband had a few bowel problems caused by his chemo and this was mainly due to constipation which they prescribed medication for (the over-straining had caused a tiny split which took a little time to repair). Your Mum probably comes from the old school of thought about not wanting to bother anyone (hubby was much the same and I often had to remind him of the questions that needed to be asked/answered) but hope she will be able to chat to someone about this.  All the best  Jules54
