How do you deal with it?

Defecation is the act or process by which organisms eliminate solid or semisolid waste material (feces) from the digestive tract via the anus. Humans expel feces with a frequency varying from a few times daily to a few times weekly; sloths can go a week without expelling. Waves of muscular contraction known as peristalsis in the walls of the colon move fecal matter through the digestive tract towards the rectum. Undigested food may also be expelled this way; this process is called egestion.

The rectum ampulla (anatomically also: ampulla recti) acts as a temporary storage facility for the unneeded material. As the rectal walls expand due to the material filling it, stretch receptors from the nervous system located in the rectal walls stimulate the desire to defecate. If the urge is not acted upon, the material in the rectum is often returned to the colon where more water is absorbed. If defecation is delayed for a prolonged period the fecal matter may harden, resulting in constipation.

  • Call a hault ? I never even would have started that shit. Chemotherapy is of almost non existant usefulness and often has very dangerous side effects. I wish Americans would see that Chemotherapy doesn't cure cancer or extend life. Chemotherapy drugs are the most toxic substances ever put deliberately into the human body. To me it's just common sense that a drug that makes you throw up , lose your hair, and wreck your immune system is neither curing you or improving your quality of life
