Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Pre-test
Standard care: all patients who are starting their first (neo adjuvant or adjuvant) treatment with chemotherapy visit the nurse practitioner. Site effects like constipation will be discussed and the prescription of laxatives is standard care. Participants will keep a stool pattern diary during two months using the Bristol Stool Scale (BSS). During follow up the occurrence of side effect, such as nausea, diarrhea and constipation is assessed.
No interventions assigned to this group
Post-test
After the first four months (pre-test phase) of the study, nurse practitioners are asked, as lifestyle advice, to eat two kiwis per day instead of two pieces of fruit. A similar group of patients undergoing their first (neo-adjuvant or adjuvant) chemotherapy treatment are approached with a request to participate in the study. Participants keep a diary of defecation patterns for two months using the Bristol Stool Scale (BSS). During follow-up, the occurrence of side effects such as nausea, diarrhea and constipation will be assessed.
