"My mom is an OVCA patient undergoing chemotherapy with Docetaxel and Gemcitabine on a 3-week cycle, and she had developed severe diarrhea accompanied by fever, probably due to neutropenia, and Loperamide/Imodium did not help her, even after one week of taking it. The doctor suggested Sandostatin, and after 2 doses of 100 micrograms 8 hourly, the diarrhea stopped completely."
