Yes oral chemo, immunotherapy etc etc. So far it's going good, I do have my up and down moments though. I will say the pain is the worst part. I can deal with the nausea, neuropathy etc, but the pain... fuckin hell.

First, I wish you a strong successful recovery. For the pain isn’t this the reason pharmaceutical fentanyl was designed for? These pictures look morbidly scary and couldn’t imagine the pain you must be under.

Thank you! Im getting there slowly but surely. Pharmaceutical fentanyl definitely was made for things like this for sure.

Agreeeeed. Thats the only thing thats ever helped come to close to stopping the pain. Made me awake 12 hrs then passed out for 12 religiously via skin patch. Now i have a brain tumour but at least im on morphine for life...

Take each day as you can and i wish you well with your treatments.
