I think you should find as gastroenterologist and see want they think.
Duane,
The comments the consultant made to you really annoyed me, I have recently changed consultants and feel I have had a win, I was asking to do home treatment and it wasn’t going to happen , I asked my new consultant about home treatment and I start it on the 30th of October.
What I’m saying here is, if you’re not happy with your consultant find another.
You wouldn’t take the first quote from a painter you would shop around
Hello DuaneMC. When I started Calquence, my hematologist said diarrhea could be a side effect. He recommended Imodium AD. I don't suggest using it long term, just temporary so you can leave the house. Please contact your provider because you don't want to get dehydrated or other issues. Hope you get issue resolved soon.
Would definitely get an appointment with a/your gastroenterologist Duane. Also, best not to self diagnose what is going on and to not use/take what you’re taking. Could do more damage than good. So, call your gastroenterologist on Monday ok
