Hi guys,

Thanx for the advice. Its now 6 days since i've gone off the fentanyl and i have started to feel better!!! Yay!!! Still not getting much sleep but at least i'm not walking around like a zombie and started to "feel" again. Since going off the fentanyl, i've noticed pain from where i had the surgery but nothing i cant handle so all is good. I've also started excercising again. I climbed 750 stairs today!! I used to climb 2225 steps everday five days a week, so not quite there yet but getting there!!!

OCF have been a lifesaver for me. I want to thank everyone who responded to my posts. Without them i'm sure i would have gone crazy with worry and would have suffered severe depression. I'm happy to say that i feel pretty good these days (apart from the withdrawal periods), no depression. Pretty much my happy self before cancer. Yes i still have days where i'm scared sh..less but then its only human to feel like that so i'm cool with it.

Posters like Erics, Charm, Davidcp, Christine, EzJim, Gabe, Anne Marie, and Karen are really insprirational to me and i really appreciate all that you guys do for the people on this website.
