Hi, this is bride06, again, and I have written about my fathers rendez-vous with stage 2B pancreatic cancer. I am looking for advice, because I don't know what to make of this situation. My father is 61, a former runner, who currently is 5 mos. into his gemzar treatments, with 4 treatments left. He seems so strong sometimes, he works full time, and half the time, you wouldn't even know that 6 mos. ago, he had a Whipple! The problem is, he has such severe burning pain in his back, which he claims is close to the skin, and sensitive to the touch even. He says that hot showers help the pain, but not for long. His onc. says he needs to up the pain meds, when others say it is referred pain, which I am familiar with, but , I gues the question is, does anyone else have this burning pain? Please help...Thank you....
