Howdy to all!

Brian is now three weeks out from last radiation treatment and is suffering from esophageal spasms and pain. The oral pain medication Vicodin wasn't working well. His radiologist ordered Fentanyl transdermal patches to use. He was started on a low dose. The doctor stated I could increase it to two if necessary and I did this morning. Brian had a rough day yesterday, could hardly eat or to anything but sleep. Today he is much better and joking with me, he is like his old self. It brings tears of relief to me...

I hope he will have less pain soon. I imagine his nerve endings are waking up after being radiated twenty eight days. Thanks again for every one's prayers and support!
