Cancer Support

aches for you. I have sadly become familiar with this story; twin sis diagnosed with metastatic bone cancer after stage 4 breast cancer. She refused chemo fearing that would really mess with her remaining quality of life, but did get mammoth amounts of radiation to supposedly shrink the tumors, to no avail. Her biggest complaint is pain, and the pros seem to be having a tough time hitting on the right combo of drugs to make her comfortable. I do hope your pros keep addressing the drugs; seems to me no one should suffer in this day and age, though finding some of the drugs is challenging as pharmacists are reluctant to issue 'the good stuff' for fear of...what? She's a 67 year old woman dying of cancer, not a junkie.
Anyway, I will be thinking of you.
