I swear, he is getting worse as the hours pass the last 2 days. His mucositis is really kicking in since yesterday. I've been putting Oxycodone through his PEG and it is at least taking some of the edge off the pain and kind of knocking him out. He hasn't been sleeping or even napping through this whole treatment, so far. His chemo doctor mentioned trying a Fentanyl patch. My husband refused that idea but I think today's pain is making him rethink that decision. I'm putting in a call tomorrow to get a prescription.
