When we met with Ken's chemo oncologist yesterday, he basically told me what Gary said in his post, which was to ignore the radiation oncologist. The chemo doctor said the doses Ken is on are low and can be increased quite a bit if the pain worsens. I think I will listen to the chemo guy from now on--he is much more cheerful and I like his advice better!
By the way, the Fentanyl makes Ken pretty goofy and spacey. Does that lessen as his body adjusts to it?
