stool

Today my stool was a light brown color should I be worried about that? Another question is do you guys pee a lot more since being on treatment, for  example do you drink something and 30 mins. later you have to go to the restroom? I only have two more shots to go this Friday and next.

Clay-colored stool is actually pale or light-colored, like putty. Obstruction to the flow of bile can produce clay-colored stools.

You only worry about stool color if it's clay colored, like an orangey terracotta pot.

Pee in a cup and see if it's cloudy.  I'd never notice that but when I did a sample for kidney infection, that's one of the things noted on the lab report.

In my case it was drink a lot, pee a lot.

The stool colour is nothing.
Frequency of urinating is probably minor-irritable bladder,minor infection such as cystitis  from low white cells caused by interferon.
Both these issues should resolve as you detoxify.
