Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 117 Likes: 1 | The doctor put me on Codeine/APA 12-120mg/5ml EXL. "Take 15 to 30 ML every 4 to 6 hours." This helped a little.
But I was still in a lot of pain. So he switched me to Morphine Sulf. 20mg/ml soln. "Take 0.25ml every hour until pain is controlled. Then take every four hours." I took it once an hour all day yesterday, except for when I was napping. It had zero affect on me. I'm not sure I'm even going to bother with it today.
Do you know of something I can suggest to the doctor that might actually work? My main concern is the pain in my throat area.
Squamous cell carcinoma base of tongue. Lymph involvement unclear; staging placed at "2 or 3." Biopsy 4/18/2008. Treatment: IMRT every day for 7 weeks. Cisplaten once a week to sensitize cancer to radiation. Treatment ended 7/16/08. PET/CT shows no more cancer.
