Hey all,
Just a quick rundown, but unfortunately my sister was diagnosed with an aggressive leiomyosarcoma cancer a few years back. She had been off an on several chemos when some seemed to work and then would gradually stop working. This year they put her on a chemo that was very strong, so strong that one dose sent her to the ER... twice!
We can't always judge how our family members with cancer react to things or what they will or won't do, but after enough time on chemo, the throwing up and the misery she decided it's probably better to just die that stay on it, which is a very hard thing to take.
Thankfully though, we discovered my cancer story dot rocks and followed the protocol and it seemed to be making progress, I could only hear second hand from her that her doctor felt the cancer was then in remission and possibly shrinking. Then the above super-chemo was implemented and it felt like the fenbendazole treatment stopped working after that? I'm confused about it, though my sis kinda took a fatalistic attitude to it that her cancer learned how to survive through Fenbendazole.
So here we are today, a few months later and still having done Fenbendazole (heck, Ivermectin and HCQ too!) three times a week, but unfortunately where they needled her back to get a lung tissue sample has been hurting more and more and more lately. Her required pain meds just keep increasing and she's now in the hospital with a morphine drip. I'm really hopeful she'll come home some time in the week but as bad as the cancer is, I want to know if there's anything we can do about the pain. I'm not even sure what's causing it... can cancer grow into nerve endings and just cause relentless pain spikes?
I had heard from here about treating pain, back pain, broken bone pain and nerve pain with with Comphrey, which I ordered and it even got here Tuesday, just in time for me to get super sick with something and unable to help her apply it. I'm looking to rub comphrey where her back is hurting when I can, but... well, I feel at a loss. Is there anything else we can do?
If you don't want to give direct medical advice, that's fine. You can just say what you would do if it were your situation.
Thank you friends!
God have mercy on your sister.Comfrey is an herb that is used for healing skin, and it helps to knit broken bones together, it will not help with pain, and too much taken internally is not good for the liver. I have used it to heal bedsores and abrasions. Something with lidocaine may work if the pain is on the surface. Have they added any Gabbapentin with the opiod? If I were in your situation, I would, honestly, turn her over to God, I do not want to discourage you, but a morphine drip is as far as they can go to alleviate her pain, opiods affect breathing, that is how people succumb to them, they just slow down respiration's until the loss of oxygen allows the patient to gently slip away.My Dad was in a lot of pain in his end stage cancer, he was at home with hospice care but i was his main caregiver. The doctor explained that increasing his morphine would compromise his ability to breathe, and asked me if I understood that. My Dad chose to have a pain free ending, it was hard, but he was not going to heal.He had esophageal cancer from smoking 4 packs a day and the tumor was coming apart. Marijuana, ketamine, all good pain reducers. I have been taking Tramadol for 7years so I can function and go about my day as best as I can, I have never had to increase the medication, but that is thanks to the wonderful Cannabis Indica/Sativa that I grow, with the doctors blessing. I pray that your sister has the least amount of suffering as she is being treated. Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy.
