@slkanowitz Have you contacted a hospice organization? Contrary to what some believe, anyone with a life-threatening diagnosis can qualify, and some people receive services for a couple of years.
They specialize in helping manage your pain and provide a lot of comfort care and supportive services - in your home, or in a care facility if that is where you reside.
Do you have anyone assisting you?

I do have help but not a life threatening diagnosis so I don’t qualify for Hospice. I’m familiar with Hospice, have had several experiences with them for family members and they are absolutely wonderful in the services and caretaking they provide!
