Yellow Stools

troyryans

I am just finishing up a year of IDC diagnosis, bilateral mastectomies, reconstruction, testing positive for CHEK2 gene, and have been on Letrozole for 9 months. No chemo or radiation, lymph nodes were clear. Oncotype 18. Question...has anyone experienced yellow stools? I'm a bit worried that the breast cancer may not have been the primary site, and perhaps my liver instead. I am having lower back pain as well, but not severe, just enough to notice. I was diagnosed with NAFLD with 54% liver damage over 10 years ago, but checkup have been fine. I have calls into both my oncologist as well as my liver specialist, but am really concerned this cancer journey may have taken another path.

How long have you been having yellow stools? Sometimes, I've had "pale poops," but within a few days they go back to being brown. My oncologist said that she'd definitely want to know if I were consistently having pale poops, so calling your oncologist and liver specialist was a good idea. Hope it's nothing!
