cancer is a PAIN...


She has been in constant pain for years.  YEARS people.  She complained of her arm hurting long before she was re-diagnosed in December.  Constant pain.  So severe pain, that the strongest medicines only ease the pain.  Even on her "good" days, her pain level, at best, is a 3 or 4. 


She headed to Birmingham this week for her weekly dose of chemo.  She also had appointments with her pain doctors.  Here's a recap from dad from earlier this week...

 We are trying to set up an appointment with another pain team for the end of this week or next week when we go back for chemo.  Doctors are talking about doing injections, a spinal block, using pain patches, trying a different combination of drugs, or a combination of of the above. 


I can't imagine how she must feel.  Pray she gets relief soon.  They weren't able to get appointments this week, so it will be next week before anything is decided.
