Please don't wait until October 15 to talk with your oncologist. There are definitely other options for pain control, as others have said. And it might well help to have a short inpatient stay to find the right regimen for you. But that does NOT mean going to the ED. You are correct, that is not a place you want to be. Most oncologists can make you a 'direct admit'. You may pass through the ED to register, but you won't be caught in the rigamarole. Please call your oncologist!!

Dear Raven,

I am sorry you are in pain. I agree with the posts in this thread - call your oncologist and talk to him about what to do. Don't take medicine on your own without him knowing it.

I think of you daily and I send BIG HUGS AND PRAYERS!!

Love you!!

Your Friend,
Anna

Raven,
I'm so sorry to hear of your pain. As other posters have said, maybe Fentynl Patches. My Mom fractured her spine when she was 76 yrs old, she did PT at Kesslers, and eventually walked again always in pain, but with a 4 foot cane. Then someone recommended a Pain Management Dr. So glad we went. This is their specialty, perhaps your beloved Oncologist knows one. Please don't suffer until Oct. 15th. And I agree, an ER is no place you want to be. Call your Oncologist, you deserve some help in your fight with this disease...
I wish you peace, love, and to be pain free. You truly are a warrior. God love you...
Wishing and praying for your recovery... Barbara
