I am undergoing chemotherapy. i was having diarreah. my bowel movements are now formed but i'm seeing whiteish stringy substances with my stool?

Call your doc: It may be nothing but if you are on chemotherapy, it is your responsibility to alert your own physician about any possible side effect or complication rather than asking docs who have never seen you and have no knowledge of your current therapy or medical condition.
