Suggest Remedies For Pain When Diagnosed With Lung Cancer
Thank you, yes please. My husband has Stage 4 lung cancer and was doing a lot better but now in the past month he has developed a lot of pain. The doctor has prescribed percep (sp). He said he could take two if needed,.He did today take 2 and he woke up saying the whole room was purple and was seeing colors.I got in the shower with him and stayed a while. He s laying down now. I am worried possibly that was too much for his body and if I should take him to the ER and they check him out and make sure he s alright. My email address is YYYY@YYYY Thank you for your help.
