Show Notes
In our second bite-sized episode, Michael and Josh explore the challenge of chemotherapy-induced diarrhoea, a common problem for patients leading to morbidity, hospital admissions, and potentially stopping curative treatments early.

It is essential to identify warning signs, investigate adequately and see the treatment options available to you, the saviour and potential part-time plumber. Tune in and find out more!
