Digestive Issues

My digestive problems continue, alas. Always got to be something. I suppose it is the advertised side effect of Tarceva. Also the predicted rash from Tarceva seems to be starting now.

One interesting thing is that I was taking Imodium aka Loperamide and it wasn't really helping very much at all. Then I tried seirogan from Japan, and it worked much better. The only downside (that I know of) is that the pills are very smelly.

I don't want to overstate the gut problems. It is a not great, certainly, but I am coping. At least I am not in the hospital, and my ascites is not really concerning me any more.
