Hi Deborah,

The last two weeks are the hardest but I think maybe the most important. I wanted to quit too, but hung in there and he must also. Would they give him some morphine? I had as much as I wanted and it really helped with the pain.

Handling the pain is the toughest. Tell him quitting is not the answer and we all must complete the regimine.

Good luck,

Steve Daib
