thank you. your message is so comforting in that you are both in a better place now but I am so sorry you and he endured this at all.

we did increase the fentanyl, and are able to use the oxy and naproxyn sodium in between... but reading about being scared with the morphine.. geeze, I hear you on that.
the ropy phelghm at night at times I think he won't breathe well through this and has me checking him constantly.

our RAD onco actually reinforced the normalcy of this pain and edema and increased the dosage and let us know she is on call this weekend and to call her as needed.

hoping for light.
thank you so much! for your support
