During much of radiation I was on a time released oxycontin for long term pain and oxycodone for short term breakthrough pain. Near the end of treatment I was switched to the Fentanyl patch for long term and liquid oxycodone for breakthrough pain and it was managed well.

I really liked the liquid oxycodone, it had a sweet taste and kicked in quickly and could be easily shot through the feeding tube.
