Like Cheri, I suffer terrible constipation from the Vidaza Zofran combination and take similar measures to hers. The normal fiber, exercise, herbal remedies don't seem to touch it. I ended up in the ER one night. My hematologist said to take as many stool softeners as needed during treatment week to keep things moving.
