I've been diagnosed with stage four terminal cancer [View all]
On March 31’st my dog tripped me out in the driveway, my back started hurting but I’ve had ablation done on my lower back twice already and thought it was wearing off again
I started going into urgent cares and the pain got worse, they shot me up with four shots of morphine and four of Dilaudid and some toradol with no success
I was told by the doctors that with all that I should be dead, I didn’t lose an eyelash much less any other problems
A legal pain clinic had taken over my pain from a shattered right leg, a replaced left knee and the afor mentioned spinal pain nerve ablation in 2009, I was under their pain management until 2018 when I decided to get off the 180 mgs of Morphine PER DAY for 9 years solid
It seems my body has built up a resistance to opiates, my painkillers today are at: 90 mgs a day of oral extended release of morphine in a pill form
6 mg of oral Dilaudid every 3 hours, i injection of Dilaudid every 2 hours
And I’m still in pain, the cancer had eaten into my L-4 vertebra and had fractured it
The day I was admitted into the hospital I could walk with two canes, I can no longer get up or sit upright due to the pain
The cancer is in my liver, kidneys?, spine, shoulders, lungs etc, not sure where else yet
I’ve had scans and radiation treatments every day of the week now and it’s agony to lay on a table when your back is screaming the entire time, every time I leave my room it’s pain city at at least 7 on the ten scale
I sure hope the fentanyl patches work
They say without medical help I will last three more months, but I have ten more days of radiation treatment and that drops the pain level down I think
When I can go home in ten days ( cross my fingers) i will then start chemotherapy and go on from there, I may last until the end of the year
Peace to all, live, laugh and love ❤️
