Thanks everyone - your advice and feedback have been a huge help. We went to see the pain doctor today and he thought that part of the problem is that Michael is withdrawing from the fentanyl. Had been on 100, 75, 50 and then 25. He said the lower dosage that you go to, the more the withdrawal symptoms. He gave us a prescription for 12 and said that would ease the withdrawal. He also said that in his experience, that radiation from the breast up seems to cause more exhaustion than radiation in areas downward from the breast/chest area. I had wanted to have his TSH level and testosterone levels checked - he said the radiation onc would check them the next time she sees him. We see the medical oncologist next week and I'll ask her to check his levels. I'll As I type this, he is back to a horizontal position . . . which is okay with me.



Again, thanks so much to all of you. I continue to keep you in my prayers.
