chemo treatment

[pusskin]

Is it a very normal occurance for chemo to be taken in 2 stages due to having a bad effect on you? (going back to hosp the next day)

What chemo,,,,,for what condition?

hi squad. The treatment is for Non Hodgkins Lymphoma.
apart from a bad effect whatever that was, he had severe diarhea the night of the first treatment

[Sqad]

Well the drug treatment that i assume he is having and guessing the chemotherapeutic agent employed, then diarrhea is not an uncommon side effect particularly in the first two days of treatment.
Annoying, distressing, but can be controlled by medicines.
