Currently am undergoing chemo & constipated i took laxative and thought i'd be sick throwing up it hurt so bad but now its coming out like water help?

Could still : Be constipated. Of so when solid and blocked the only thing that can get around the blockage is water. You might need an X-ray to tell if you are blocked or took too much laxative. Depending on which it is depends on the treatment
