Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 3,552 | With 6 IMRT treatments to go I am feeling the burn now. I started back on the duragesic patch tonight with Vicodin as a breakthrough med. I also have 15mg. morphine sulphate as a backup if that doesn't work. I am also on a prescription corticosteroid for the skin on my neck as it's VERY itchy. I don't even want to imagine how bad this would have been with conventional XRT...
