Thank you Joe for sharing. Glad that palliative care is part of your team now because they will at least be able to help you get your pain management under control. Hoping the fentanyl patches to the trick. Sending you love. You are such a brave and beautiful friend, son, father and partner. Xoxoxo

Cancer sucks. Your blunt descriptions are so important to read. Depression and pain are quiet. People don't always understand, especially if you look "normal" to them. Your honesty is an eye-opening reminder. Never assume you know what someone is going through. Thank you for sharing your story.

Every week I look for your stack and send you positive energy and hugs and even though we don’t know each other I understand and know you (somewhat ) and know you understand me. Thank you

Gaviscon is the best otc heartburn medicine available! Walgreens carry’s that along with their version. Both work equally well!
