It is funny because after many posts I've read and responded to as far as trying to comfort as many people as I can on this board, I now need help myself. I thought I had it all together for my Mom. (stageIV cervical cancer) She still has opted for no more treatment and actually isn't doing to bad besides the pain she has in her lower back due to the pins in her back that drain her kidneys(nephrostomy). She is so uncomfortable, she can't sit, lay or walk to find it. She will not take the vicodin yet. She is very weary of taking anything. I can not stand to see her in discomfort. She opted for no more chemo because she wants quality of life, but there is no quality in being in so much discomfort. She wakes in the night to sit up and move around. I have done all my research as far as treatments, still no go. For comfort I've researched, nothing. No one has any comfort for those pins. I have suggested massages, acupucture, hypnoisis, a hospital that offers free classes for different things for cancer patients.When I left her house yesterday she was sitting up in her bed again after just laying, I told her I will not give up on trying to find comfort for her, as she says there is nothing you can do about it. I will not accept that. I told her to take the vicodin and I will stay with her if she is afraid of what it will make her feel like. She said no. Accepting the disease is one thing but accepting the pain is not fair. Please if anyone has any ideas or anything encouragement please help us. Thank you Dani.
