Pain Management

Thank you for visiting; although this blog has taken me far longer to write than I had ever anticipated. If you look at the dates, you'll know that I am very behind. I apologize in advance for that.

This is the story of my fight with Stage IV breast cancer. When I was 29 years old, the cancerous tumor in my breast was misdiagnosed as a cyst. My hope is that this blog will help other women to learn to ask for a mammogram or even a biopsy if they feel something suspicious in their breast, regardless of their age. You must be your own advocate!

If you would like to contact me, you are welcome to do so. I try to respond to every email. Please use my contact page here.

This morning when I woke, I was unable to move. Pain from the chemo I had two days before had hijacked my body. The soreness was deep in my bones and my joints felt like they were petrified. The vertebrae in my spine pulsated with pain in time with my heart beat, which was elevated. I was so uncomfortable that I couldn’t get out of bed.

Michael came to my rescue. Dr. N had prescribed Vicodin for my pain. Michael ran to the kitchen like a superhero and brought me a glass of water and two pills. I swallowed them and settled back to wait for them to take affect.

I must have dozed off because I woke a while later feeling Great! The vicoden had taken the pain away and made it so that I was able to bounce out of bed and get some work done. I’m so grateful to have a remedy for debilitating pain.
