embolization

[clisa]

Been a rough few days - all my doctors can't agree on my pain management so have been going back and forth between fentanyl pain patches and oxycodone tablets and morphine tablets and all the other drugs to manage the side effects and still I have pains and constant vomiting and dizziness. I have had it and have decided to listen to my body.

Went back to my GP yhis morning - who is fabulous - who really listens and explained to her that I do not have constant pain so why do I need constant medicating - no nausea or dizziness before they put me on these pain meds so why was I doing it - feeling worse than before they all started treating me.

She was great and has me hooked up with a pain mgmt expert at my local hospital who is treating the pain with a fast acting short term medication with no side effects called sutafen. Guess what - that means no more dizziness, no nausea - just pain relief when I need it. Gee who would of thought. You really have to fight to get listened to.

Back to see my oncologist tommorrow to touch base re the embolization surgery and how my chemo went (very well by the way no side efects).

Thansk all for your hugs & best wishes - even though I do not know any of you personally they mean the world to me.
