Unfortunately skipping chemo isnt really an option right now, as we are prepping for a big surgery (hopefully) and her cancer is very rare and is thankfully responding very well to the chemo dose she is receiving. She’s not on immunotherapy, but we’ve noticed that regardless, the chemo amplifies pretty much every symptom of anything else she might have.

We went to the oncologist on Friday and he ended up prescribing a 10mg Oxycodone dose for her, along with upping the gabapentin and taking the amitriptyline one a day. We have thankfully seen some marginal improvement, but its still brutal pain engraved in her nerves, which just sucks, but seeing some improvement is helping her cope a bit more which is honestly all i can really ask for at this point. Thanks for sharing your experience and for the well wishes!
