Re: Hello everyone!
Hi Doug, glad to see you clock in here while you are taking a break from work. I was surprised to see that it has been 3 years for you already. Thanks especially for providing more detail, because it is the sharing of that kind of info that helps others figure out their own situations better, I think.
My SO doesn't have cancer, but has always "managed" pain much in the same way as yours -- What other choice was there? He is soon to have knee surgery, and I only hope it will result in some relief for him but it is something of a gamble.
It is remarkable how much of life gets spent dealing with medical matters! I'm very glad to hear that there was no recurrence for you.
A.A.
