What It's Like to Support a Cancer Patient on Oxy.
Manage episode 479855465 series 3641164
On this episode of I Saved You. Now, Do the Dishes podcast, I'm getting my husband connected with a palliative care team member to help manage his cancer pain.
If you've followed this season, you know what it took to get there, and the emotional weight of saying yes to more help. I talk about my exhaustion at that point and now, managing the two different forms of oxy prescribed to help him find some relief. It’s a conversation about pain, advocacy, and the strange comfort of watching someone you love finally get a break—even if it comes wrapped in a prescription bottle.
Because sometimes saving someone looks like paperwork, coordination, and a quiet moment of surrender.
