Living With Cancer

[kissimmee]

Hi my partner is having his second lot of chemo after 8 doses last year he has started another batch of chemo treatments this year he used to have a free week when he was okay but now he is in so much pain it is making him miserable as anyone would understand but he is taking it out on me I do my best going along with everything he wants but it is making me so depressed I just don't know what to do

[woofgang]

Has he talked to his specialists about pain management? has he told then what he is suffering?

[kissimmee]

He has been talking so much medication including morphine but says nothing is giving him any relief I asked him to phone the hospital but the nurse he is assigned to is on holiday

I can't offer any help, as I haven't been in that situation, Kissimmee. I just wish you a less stressful life. It must be awful.

Draining for you both , has he discussed this with his GP?

When my Husband was struggling he was put on a moderate dose of antidepressant, it did help.

[woofgang]

there should be holiday cover if his own nurse isn’t there.

[kissimmee]

Thanks everyone we went to the hospital this morning and he was checked over and given some extra meds to get him over the Easter weekend hopefully they will sort him out next week

[Mamyalynne]

I do hope so , hard time for you both.
