Hello Hope. It sounds like you are thinking well about what's good for you. Your daughter and friend are privileged to be part of your life and share their support. Hundreds of us on this site are with you, too, in our prayers and good thoughts.

I have not had your situation, but I had morphine for a month or two, after back surgery to fuse 4 vertebrae with bone from other parts. I can imagine your fear about what it means, but my experience with it was fine. I do not take the usual narcotics because they make me sick, and morphine was much better.

I hope the new drug is the one for you. Keep fighting. More new options will be coming. By best to you. - Carol
