Hi John,

Baby steps, think big and stay big… that's my take for what…[Read more]

Hi Chrissie sorry I didnt understand at first Oramorph is horrible I cant take it either but it might still be worth asking about alternatives like patches or slow release morphine I have found they are very good at seeking a solution once they realise how miserable pain is making your life Has there been any suggestion of radiotherapy for his…[Read more]
