Hi there!
I’m looking for some advice if anyone here has dealt with something similar or might have some insight.
My mother-in-law just finished a six-week stretch of chemo and radiation following surgery for a grade 4 glioblastoma. They’ve tapered her off all her medications, including the Decortin, and now she’s just waiting for her follow-up MRI in December.
The thing is, she’s been dealing with daily diarrhea for about 7 or 8 days straight now. We initially assumed it was a side effect of the treatment, but our oncologist told us that shouldn't be the case since she isn't currently undergoing active chemo.

Does anyone know if this could still be linked to the therapy somehow, or is it more likely that her intestinal lining has just been completely wrecked by everything?
If you have any suggestions on what might help settle her stomach, I would truly appreciate it.

Seriously, let me know how it goes, because I’m actually gearing up for an appointment with my ENT. It isn't even about nodules or anything like that—it's just that the texture of my thyroid feels off. I can still feel this little lump, even though it's smaller than before. Honestly, I'm trying my hardest to play it totally cool and convince myself it has absolutely nothing to do with my thyroid.

It’s not even a typical sharp pain or burning sensation—it’s more like this constant pressure that hits me most often whenever I have acid reflux. 🙄 Honestly, it feels stupid to go see an ENT over this, especially since I’m already constantly at the doctor's office dealing with my chronic sinus issues. Why bother? Does anyone actually know what this could be??? What am I looking at here? Heeeeelp!!! This is starting to freak me out. 🙂 Thanks in advance!

That’s exactly how it started for me, and it turned out to be a thyroid issue. I felt like there was this lump or a knot in there. My throat didn't really hurt when I swallowed, but it was slightly red. If I were you, I’d get my thyroid checked out. Especially if that pressure seems to ebb and flow throughout the day.
