CMM had a grossly bloody stool last night - just once, thank goodness, but worrisome since he had chemo yesterday and one of the potential side effects of this chemo is colitis. Normally they would treat that with steroids but he cannot take steroids (they cause him to have intractable hiccups, once lasting 6 months and losing 50 pounds). I'm afraid this may develop into a problem limiting his use of this chemo, and naturally, his oncologist is going out of town for the month. And of course it doesn't help his anemia any. Geez.
