Cancer update
 
Saw Dr on Tue he increased cancer med to next level and tripled my pain meds. The spleen is still swollen and pain is sharp stabbing almost constantly. Hurts to even deep breathe have been tempted to go to hospital but remember notes plastered all over the place about NOT giving out hard core pain meds. So see no point in going just suffering until cancer meds can reduce swelling of spleen like it claims so far this is 3rd increase with only slight improvement of symptoms would think for 10K a month should be feeling a lot better. so now just take pain meds every 4 hour and cancer med twice a day. Between the 2 they have me pretty much just sleeping all the time NOT what I would call good quality of life but not any other options at this point.
 
Did ask Dr about medical weed he said my cancer is not on list so would not be able to help even if it was still have to jump through all the same hoops and pay all the fees for permit and then pay for med which insurance will NOT cover at all you know since its illegal per federal law.

I read this and think to myself "ChefKev, you have no right to whine about your foot after reading this. Gut TFU."
 
I hope your docs get this under control. Stupid question, Eye, what if they remove the spleen? I know several people, for various reasons, have had theirs removed.

@themrs916 Jane would just be or the pain still need the 10k a month meds to keep cancer in check. Will be taking them most likely rest of my life this med was just approved in 2015 took 20 plus years since there aren't that many of us hard to have a control group. Latest med in trials shows promise but one of the side effects is causing heart attacks has killed some patients so can't see that getting out anytime soon.

Weed is decriminalized in Illinois now. Go get some. It's not that hard to find. You don't need to go to Colorado.

@joepyeweed I'm only good for being in motion for 15 minutes before pain ramps up. Which really sucks because takes 20 to get to cancer Dr office.

Yeah, I vote for you getting some MJ just to help with the pain.
 
Sorry you are going through this. Cancer does most definitely suck. *hugs* to you and if there's something we can do (or I can do) please ask.
