Millie,

This is great!!! The patches are what got me through surgery and radiation. When he's ready, wean off the patches on a step down approach. Life is too short to endure pain when there are such good meds out there to help out. Although the constipation can be wicked. Be proactive about that.

Better living through chemistry!
