Go through the following link: http://www.moffitt.org/CCJRoot/v12n3/PDF/165.pdfWhen my father went through surgery and CCRT for the first time in 2009, yoga helped him to recover as he had been practising for past several years. For Jim, it may be difficult with all the pain, but it may help him get some relief. Father; 67 yrs; RIP: 2012/05/26

We did see pain specialist yesterday and he took him all the meds he was on except Gabipentin and started im on Methadone, Hydromorphone. Last night was rough but he's been sleeping all day, sometimes soundly other times jerking and seems to be dreaming vivid dreams. Since he can't talk it's so hard to know how he's feeling.
