You have done so well so far! Ken had to start higher levels of pain medication by week 3. Has Dr. Clark sent you to see the Pallative Care team? Ken talks with one of the nurses weekly about his pain and she monitors what he is taking. It might be worth asking about. Ken sees Simone Rinaldi who works with Dr. Kamdar (not sure of spelling). He is hoping to finally start tapering his meds soon with the goal of going back to work on 5/25!
Good luck with your recovery!
