The pain has made me take the oxi. The oxi has made me sick. But the pain is better. Should I have taken them right away? For sure! But the 1970's made me think twice about it.

Mo,
Tell them the oxy is making you sick. They'll prescribe you a different medication. It happened to with one of my surgeries.

It happened to with one of my surgeries. i think its better i use something i dont like Makes since if you are worried about getting hooked on something. I've always stayed away from pain meds to avoid having to fight an addiction. But to be honest I haven't been in very many situations were pain meds were needed. Instead of changing meds you might ask for something to counter the nausea. When my boys was having surgeries they figured out real quick what to give him for nausea. He would wake up from surgery puking, I little med in his IV would take the stomach sickness away. Take care and recover.

Keep us posted on how things are going, John! i think its all good art, just way more pain than i thought it would be. I am real groggy and dizzy for some reason still. maybe the oxy is doing that. the two lumps i was worried about were not cancer so that was good i guess. i just need to get back to work.

For as long as you're on the oxy (or other pain meds), I'd encourage you to take a daily Colace

If you get to the point where not shitting is really causing some issues - get a bottle of magnesium citrate from Walgreens

I made plans to start my "chemo' a week from Thursday. (tomorow) WHat they do for me.....is to insert a tube "up your junk" and inject a muted turbeculosus mix into your bladder and kidneys. Then you are supposed to move around to make sure the mix gets to all the parts of your kidneys and bladder.....before you pee it out (after an hour or so - as long as you can stand it.). Six weekly treatments of this coming up. Your body's immune system says "I don't like this TB chit" and fights it off to kill the bacteria......and along with it the cancer cells. Supposedly very few people get TB from this treatment....but it can happen. It's supposed to do a number on cancer for a high percentage of folks......so hopefully it will work for me too! Amazing they come up with this stuff.......20 years ago, you would just get worse. I'm planning to taunt your guys for many years to come. FORE!
