Thanks all. I read all about the Fentanyl patch before putting it on him and your advice is ALWAYS taken into account. He's on the smallest dose, 12 mcg. and oxycodone for breakthrough pain. He seems to be handling things very well, so far. I am watching him carefully for any ill effects. Truth be told, I listened to his breathing all night last night. He has had constipation issues for a while now. I mentioned it at his rads appt. today and they gave me a "constipation protocol" that he is to start this evening. Do any of you have any products that worked better for you than others? Thanks again!
