Right now, Gordon is still eating soft food and keeping pain under control with extra-strench Tylenol. We have the codeine on the back burner until we need it. He is now 1/2 way through his radiation and has had 2 out of 3 chemos. He wondered if there are any side effects from the patch that you've noticed, ie. constipation etc.? Thanks, Anne
