Good morning Merry, sorry about the delay in my response.
We still do not have a schedule for her palliative lung treatment. They may be waiting approval from out insurance company. She is pretty much bed-ridden at this time. The pain in her back and hips has increased steadily over the past several weeks and requires morphine pills morning and night with oxycodone at least once a day as a supplement. She was also prescribed Valium to help her remain calm. She can still walk very short distances, but requires additional oxygen during the process and for about 15-30 mins after during recovery.
She developed a severe rash that started on her buttocks and spread rapidly over her back, legs and stomach. Our family doctor prescribed hydrocortisone 2.5% and ketoconazole 2% which worked great. They gave us two small tubes (60 g total) of each and when we tried to get them refilled, they told us that these were supposed to be 30 day supplies. We used them in 3 days due to the large area we had to cover. We ended up using OTC hydrocortisone 1% and an antibiotic cream to finish getting rid of the rash.
