Community Member
a day agoI was diagnosed on March 2, 2026 of stage 3C ovarian cancer. I have done three treatments of Taxol I do a scan on Tuesday, June 1 to see where everything is at only thing I have is the constipation. My bowels will not move. I have to take lennzess to make them move. Does anyone else have this problem?

a day agoThis sounds like a really challenging side effect to manage during your treatment. Constipation is indeed a common issue that many patients experience with chemotherapy, including Taxol, so you're definitely not alone in dealing with this. It's great that you've found something that helps and that you have a scan coming up to check your progress. Other community members who have been through similar treatments may have helpful tips or experiences to share about managing this particular side effect.
