New Cancer Patient Managing Pain Issues

I was diagnosed about the same time as you and before I started chemo I ended up with bile duct problems. A stent was put in to get the bile flowing and soon I was able to start chemo. I had a lot of pain issues early on and ended up in ER several times. I had 8 chemo treatments and then 15 radiation treatments then surgery was scheduled. Had to have the biliary stent replaced then had a CT to ensure I was ready for surgery. Had biopsy on bone and lungs and found metastasis in a few spots. Surgery was canceled. I still had pain issues and now I am working with a pain management specialist. She has helped me a great deal. Please stay on top of your treatments. Get ahead of the delays that can pop up. I am now on chemo to keep me going. Surgery is no longer an option. My wife and I are praying for a miracle and trusting God to do what we cannot. I’m praying for you and trusting God in your case also. Keep your family close. Mine has been a life saver.
May God bless you and see how you through this journey.

I am so sorry to read about how things have gone for you. How are you doing now?

I hope you and your wife are continuing to pray for a miracle and trusting God. I am adding my prayers to yours, hoping that even my little contribution will add up.

I pray that you are surrounded by the presence of the Holy Spirit to give you peace. Keep trusting in the Lord. My husband was diagnosed in early Feb. with PAC. He is going through Folfironox but will have to have a reduced dosage as it put him in the hospital after only 4 treatments. We are also trying Metabolic Oncology - using High Dose IV VC and a handful of off-label Meds that show promise at helping to starve the cancer and weaken it so the chemo. can be even more effective at killing it. I would encourage you to read the Jane McClennan book "How to Starve Cancer". It can give you additional weapons against this disease and more hope.
