I've had 2 clear reviews but still get worried about the future and the possibility of cancer returning. I'm currently experiencing diarrhoea and will need to contact my specialist nurse soon if it doesn't get better. I am off to Spain for a week on Saturday so hopefully it will be gone by then.

Hi labradorlass, I'm also experiencing diarrhoea at the moment, I called my specialist nurse and she told me to buy some Loperamide over the counter from the chemist. She said it was cheaper than the named brands but does the same job. But speak to your nurse, she might have a different opinion. Good luck and I hope you can enjoy your holiday xx ☺.

Hi, myself and a few other OC women I know have pretty much had diarrhoea since our surgery and take Loperamide to keep things under control. We all had bowel resections. Might be useful to have some on holiday- enjoy 😎

Hello,we all worry about cancer returning, my oncologist said to me “you have to learn to live with uncertainty “ and it’s hard but you can do it. I’m 7 years clear now and think of you ladies every day. I had problems with diarrhoea too and started taking a probiotic each day and still do, not a cure but definitely helped. Good luck and have a lovely holiday x
