When one starts RT, it can look like it will take an eternity to finish. One thing that helped my husband was to mark each day off on the calendar. That way he could have a visual reference of accomplishment and of how many days were behind him. Also, constipation can also be treated with MiraLax. It has no taste and really worked for Clark. You can take more than one ducosate sodium in a day. Check the package. It is not a stimulant but a softener.
You have a rough road ahead but you are not alone. Many here have been there and will support you. Take one day at a time.
All my best- Anita
