Originally I had always thought that cancer patients would automatically be provided with effective pain meds, especially if the cancer was terminal. With all the opioid abuse by some, it seems that legitimate requests for pain meds have now been affected and this is not acceptable. I keep hearing that hydrocodone is this super strong narcotic. Its NOT. Morphine or Oxy's yes. But hydrocodone? What is wrong with these people? Some of these quack doctors are actually eliminating opiates for cancer pain. Where do we go to fight this? Is there some agency that addresses this issue?

Had acorn size tumor in right rear part of brain. Did the 'cyber knife' treatment where they precision blast it with radiation ONE time and its gone. Insurance paid 25k for this. So far so good. No side effects. Still have cancer in lung though. Hope you find some relief. I know it sucks. Don't let it beat you down. OK. Rodger

Just finished 3 of 4 chemo sessions with TECENTRIQ, Carboplatin and Etoposide. Having CT done 3-19-2020 to check progression. White blood cell count is at vulnerable level so I'm sort of quarantined at my house with this Coronavirus floating around out there. Some officials seem really worried about it. None of my care team will discuss life expectancy. Too early they say. I am just overwhelmed at the whole mess. I do feel that I should probably begin traveling while I can, to see some things in this world that I've missed until now. Long train trips on Amtrak come to mind. Or a few weeks in a Colorado cabin smoking premo legal weed. Yeah, I may do that for sure.

Found out 1-3-2020 I had Stage 4b cancer. Finished 3 Mon-Wed sessions, with ONE 3day session left and I have no clue what I'm doing. Should I finish my bucket list asap, or just start praying and hope for the best? Otherwise I'm just counting down to some point.
