The Big D can be caused by many things as the other posters have mentioned and based upon my time associated with this site it's not to common but his doctors need to solve this problem and fast as he can ill afford to deal with diarrhea with everything else that will happen. Make sure he stays on top of the hydration, electrolytes and calories throughout his Tx and recovery, especially now.
