Maybe if you LISTENED to some of the suggestions here then maybe caregiving would be a "breeze" (as you put it). But realistically caregiving is tougher than having cancer itself. I have nothing but respect for caregivers and I owe my life to my wife who was my caregiver.
If you want to do incredibly dangerous, reckless and stupid things, in spite of ALL of the information here then it is well for you to go elsewhere, we obviously aren't making a difference anyway. And don't try deflect the blame on me for your bad decisions and for giving you "tough love". I do regret having to be frank like this and I hope that no one ever puts me in the unfortunate position where I have to go there again.
I don't care if Charlie was a junkie - Fentanyl is in a class by itself. It's a synthetic opiate and 40 times more powerful than "China White" heroin and 80 times more powerful than morphine.
I do wish Charlie the best and pray for his survival.
