@thomason It is a very difficult situation for the one with the cancer and the one taking care of the person. As the caregiver I try So hard to help him. When his throat is so sore I don’t have anything on board. I’m going to ask Doctor for alternative pain medications because he isn’t able to swallow a pill or crushed pill.A cream, patch, injection, rectal, or non sting nasal pain spray.

@jimmydeb123 Hello. I am so sorry to hear of this suffering. The caregiver has a very difficult job to do, almost beyond human capabilities. You must take time for yourself, even if it just for a few hours. You are in my thoughts. Best wishes.

@jimmydeb123, were you able to ask about a pain management solution to help the person you care for? How are you doing?
