Marie and Ed, Oh, how I wish that pain would subside! I was on the fetanyl patch also along with Tramadol and finally Morphine (liquid). The morphine was the only thing that really helped with the sleep. I was taking a few drops a night and if I woke up I would put another few drops under my tongue and go right back to sleep. I know how miserable that pain can be...had to sit up in a chair to sleep... the pain was so horrific. I'm praying even as I write this, for some relief for Ed. Please let him know that we love him and that we all pulling for him! And please let us know what the Onc says ASAP. Much love to you both tonight, Vickie
