Oh and most home remedies would involve keeping him warm (remember the body heat thing) which is fine as long as there is no direct heat on a fentanyl patch or involve drinking or adding ginger to tea. Eating hot sauce will also do it do to the capsacin (sp?) but I know I still can't do any and I'm almost 3 years out of tx.

Ginger is a natural blood thinner...DON'T try this unless you speak to your oncologist first and get the OK. With any home remedies you really need to speak to your MO first before you try any. Remember drug interactions and the effects of what's happening to your husbands body needs to be monitored by a trained professional as you could easily cause him harm.
