Hello all,
Went to hospital yesterday morning and had both lung and neck scan done with dye. Then went to see radiologist for follow up. He looked at the scans and said that both scans looked good and showed no signs of cancer. He then took his scope and looked at my throat and said there was a little iritation from the radiation but other than that everything looked good. I am feeling pretty good about myself right now as my family and a few friends are very happy for me.
My Radiologist Dr. is based at a university and they have had trouble getting hold of a addictive pain specialist to help get off the hydrocodon. Opiad addiction is very bad in our area, I don't know if that's the problem or something else but the Dr. said that I need to ween myself off the pain pills.
I have found a some 5-325 hydrocodon in my pill stash and at this time am replacing the 7-325 hydrocodons that I have been taking 3 times a day. I am having very mild with drawl symptoms but nothing I can't handle right now. After a week I think I will use my pill cutter to cut them up and try to take 3/4 of a 5-325 3 times a day and see what happens. Then 1/2 for a week and so on. Does this sound like a good plan?
Thank you all for your advice and understanding of this crazy cancer!
