First thank you so much Marica for reaching out, it's a huge help to talk to someone who's been thru it. My husband is still in the hospital for infection, it seems to be resolving with the white blood cell count improving. I'm worried about his muscle twitching, eyes rolling back, general delirious state. The MO says he's overmedicated, he's on 125 patch, lyrica 2xday, and oxycodone every 4 hrs 7.5ml, so he cut it back over 24 hrs ago but still no change. Gary I recall you were on alot of pain meds, did you have these problems? When will it resolve, is it dangerous, how to get him the pain relief he needs to get through the rest of his treatment, but keep him out of danger?

Pain killers are a necessary evil for cancer patients. Some people are more sensitive to the effects than others. As long as he is not suffering that's the important thing. The oncologist will eventually get everything regulated.
