I friend of mine was diagnosed with sarcoma in a toe. It was amputated
and no other treatments were taken. This was 3 months ago and so far
so good. Since then I have been reading as much as I can about cancer.
A few of the older books seem to indicate that a vast majority of
cancer victims (general cancer) suffered from constipation for a
longtime before cancer was diagnosed (95% in one report!) . My friend
did not suffer from this but I'm wondering if any readers here can
make any correlation?

Someday in the distant future, archeologists digging thru the ruins of
alt.support.cancer will discover that pomodorojimmy@yahoo.com
(pomodorojimmy) had this to say on 22 Apr 2004:

Morphine and percocet both cause constipation, especially morphine. Both
of those are normally perscribed to stage IV cancer patients for pain. It
isn't the cancer causing the constipation - it's the meds.

I solved it with a combination of a OTC stool softener and 2M twice a day
of encapsulated flax seed oil, available at any vitamin store. Give it a
few days to start working.

It's the meds most likely, codeine binds me up badly
