I at times feel my Drs were overly agressive. Especially with the Rad seed Implants. Pain meds help, but there is ever present pain , even when I was taking 4 pain meds plus Fentanyl Patches. I tossed everything but the Methadon and Percocet. My pain team doesn't like my doing this, but at least I control this body and not science. Oh for a piece of bacon or even a burnt steak. LOL
