Is it just me, or do others suffer with no help too?

Hi Blondin,
I'm so sorry that you are experiencing such pain and have been for so long! That's awful! I don't understand the oncologists having that sort of attitude! That's just wrong. I would suggest that you do research online of your therapy that you had and/or any medications connected with it. Try and find documentation that the pain you are experiencing does come from that, such as side effects of the medication/treatment etc. Print out the information you find and take it to your next oncologist appointment. Maybe they will start to listen to you if you have written proof that what you experienced is real.

Years ago, my mother was experiencing bad side effects to a medication but the doctor said that the medication didn't cause those side effects. However, every time she took that medication, she had these awful side effects. Also it was a medication that was necessary to her condition. She had pulmonary emphysema. This was long before computers. I read the small print paper put in with the medication and it stated that a small amount of people have those side effects. We showed it to the doctor and he stopped her medication and put her on another that had no side effects. Perhaps this can happen for you also.

The other thing that you could do and maybe already are doing is pray a lot! God is there for you and he will answer your prayers. Just talk to him like he's your best friend and he is! After all, he made you and he can fix you!

I'll remember you in my prayers. I wish you the best.
