Hello my Princess', I managed to get his pain under control but the scary part is that he is on the Fentanyl patches, the highest dosage of percocet, the highest dosage of Oxycontin...and so on. Although I am scared about the amount of medication he is on but it is the only way he can live. We will be discussing the IV though and I so thank you for mentioning this, I have been tossing this around.

Anyway he is smiling and laughing just like the OakMan I know and love. As far as treatment goes, this may be too soon to tell but he is tolerating it well. Again it has only been one treatment and I will post more details seperately for anyone that will be exploring this drug. His appetite is not what I would like to see but he is eating. Since treatment we have been out to eat several times for whatever his urges are since it is hard to cook so last minute. This does not help my diet and the reason I have gained some weight during this journey, but I have recently lost weight though 'cause I am working it, working it hard (hehe).

Still have to investigate the next course of drug for these attacks. Hopefully this will help for now until treatment starts to work. Thanks for calling me an Angel but I feel like just the opposite. I feel like a demanding haunt and probally will remain feeling that way until he says 'uncle'. But.......right now it is not that time. Right now we are staring in the face of cancer and reminding it that it is not welcomed here. He will fight down this beast once more and like I said, we will make history, for he already has and we are not done yet. And Flori, we will not write the ending (wink).>>Believe51
