goldendesign Posted November 17, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 17, 2018 The Tylenol no longer was working. I'm taking an opiod now. I tried to go without but they ended up increasing radiation dosage and narrowing the field this week. Even with the smallest dosage of oxy, 5mg, it takes it down to a 4 on the pain scale. Only 7 more treatment days left. The doctor doesn't mince words, beginning of the week he told me this was going to be a slog until a few weeks after. I think he earns a "no shit" from me when I see him again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted November 17, 2018 Share #5 Posted November 17, 2018 I remember reading the story of another bicyclist (BluesDawg) in another forum who went through radiation treatments for a tumor in his neck. It struck me that determination and grit and friends helped him get through the process. We are always here to talk to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted November 17, 2018 Share #9 Posted November 17, 2018 Ask for your family and friends to do stuff with you. Ask for that time, otherwise some may not know or are distracted by other daily stuff, but they really would like to do stuff with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted November 17, 2018 Share #12 Posted November 17, 2018 ...sorry, man. Pain is a weird thing. I had some success with the techniques described and practiced by this guy, but YMMV. My own results were far from miraculous, but in my case, I'm convinced it helped me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm almost done to begin with. Shit is rough and all but I didn't bother with any medications until now. I looked into medical marijuana and when the cancer comes back I'll go straight to a med-bud card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used mindful meditation for years. It is one of the main reasons I attribute to my sobriety in drugs and alcohol. Its also what I believe allowed me to go almost the full treatment on just Tylenol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's going to be a fairly tough period after treatment stops. Been there, done that, I grow my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like, where's the joint, man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
