Same here,

When Bill was hospitalized with neutropenia and a fever, they put him on a morphine pump in lieu of pain meds thru his peg. He looked and acted very sick...I was scared. He was hallucinating, couldn't talk well, couldn't stay awake, etc. Two days home and he was just so much better...darn near normal even though he had not finished treatments. I would be questioning the docs about this...very hard to do, I know.

Hang in there Jim and family....sending hope and strength your way.
