I am just going to come out straight ask for your prayer because I have been having bad pain in stomach area in the last 2 days.
The pain that I am experiencing is not just in the area where the tumor is but in the abdominal region near the stomach. There is slight food retention and last night I vomited at about 11:30pm and I can notice from the food vomited that it included food consumed during dinner at about 7:00pm. The pain is sufficiently bad enough that I am taking morphine during the day where I normally would just take at night just to help me sleep but it does not seem to working very well. This is on top of the 25mcg Fentanyl (pain killer) patch. The pain is not just a direct pain but is also kind of "pressure" pain like the stomach is distended and also like bad gastric pain. There is a lot of gas especially after every meal. Overall effect is that it is causing me to lose appetite but I am still "forcing" myself to eat but in smaller quantity.
It is very uncomfortable and disturbing and I had just written to my Rad-Oncologist to seek his advice.
I am assuming at this point that it is a kind of delayed side-effect of the radiotherapy and that there is some means of alleviating the pain or that it would go away after a few more days.
Tried distracting myself by going to the movie in the afternoon and watched Star Trek Into Darkness. Well… it helped for the 2 hours that the movie was on and for Treky out there, yes, yes, yes, it is worth watching as the story link together the original Star Trek TV series, the original Star Trek movie franchise and this new Star Trek movie franchise. The Klingons have a slightly new look.
In God We Trust and in Christ alone my hope is found.
Hebrews 11:1
