Not so good on this side. I had to go up on pain meds Friday 100 mg MS Contin twice a day with Roxanoal (liquid morphine for breakdown pain) I have no bowel movements. What an enchanting topic? My recent chest CT showed a more than 50% increase in tumor size since April. I start radiation therapy next week for 2-3 weeks for pallative care only. My spirits are really quite good because I am taking nutrition orally rather than in PEG format. It's just a small thing, but hey!
I'll let you know about my progress as it progresses.
