I'm so sorry for your loss. You and your husband are in my thoughts.

I am So Sorry about your situation. I was a Hospice Nurse and THEY are Fantastic for him AND you.
But while you are on Palliative care why not trying a last ditch effort..

Check out this site below and his facebook page.
ALSO...a great new book by Kelly Turner PhD called "RADICAL REMISSION".

He has NOTHING to lose and IF he can try some of this stuff while under hospice care etc. maybe it will help.

I HOPE I'm not speaking out of turn but I just had this thought.

Dear kjyrd66,
How is your husband with the pain? Are they trying different strategies? My husband did a combo of hydromorphone and oxycodone. Also MS Contin is helpful. Hope it is under control and if not the "squeeky" wheel is the best approach..call the docs every day until they get it figured out...it can be done!

Hi kjbyrd66,

Has your husband had surgery or are you having chemo first? My husband is now 6 months post surgery and has not taken any pain meds for 3 months! The chemo is a bit of a challenge but managing the symptoms really helps. I hope and pray that you have docs experienced with this type of cancer.. it makes a huge difference...I cannot stress that enough. What can we help you with?

God luck we are 6 months ahead of you... we are here for any help.. keep the faith it gets more sane!
