@sipka, it is so hard to see someone in pain. Like you, I hope the chemotherapy will provide some relief from the pain. Does you husband have a pain medicine/palliative care doctor who helps with pain management?

I can imagine you feel helpless and wish you could take his pain away. Sending you a virtual hug.

When will he start chemotherapy? Has raditaion been discussed to help with the pain?

Hi
No, we do not have a Dr. for pain medication, we may need to look into it.
Right now, the Dr. said he is going to try chemotherapy first and see how that goes.
I have heard alot of bad things about chemotherapy, it scares me.
He is just waiting on all the referrals to go through and then, he will start, soon.
I guess he will just need to try first and see how things go.
