Are you on chemotherapy for an asbestos disease and experiencing a diarrhea symptom?

If you are undergoing chemotherapy for an asbestos illness and experiencing a diarrhea symptom, you can take an active role in the treatment of diarrhea, by communicating openly with your health care team.

Also, consider taking the following steps:

Don't delay in letting your care providers know you are experiencing diarrhea from asbestos related chemotherapy.
Be accurate, complete and honest about your symptoms.
Keep track of how often you are having bowel movements in a 24-hour period.
Describe the bowel movements: the frequency, the volume, the hardness, the presence of blood (if any) etc.

How soon did the diarrhea begin after chemotherapy treatment for your asbestos disease?
Are you feeling cramping pain when you move your bowels?
Be ready to describe all medicines and the dosage that you take. Don't forget to mention any over-the-counter medications that you use as part of your asbestos related chemotherapy.
