I don't want to do that. I need to be away from all the doctors, nurses, needles, chemo, and all that mess. If I die before I return, so be it. I am not really expecting much out of whatever treatment I have in store next. A friend's wife back in KC said I should go to a doctor here and get methadone for the pains. Umm, last time I checked, I had cancer, not a heroin addiction... She was a surgeon in Croatia but she says some wild stuff. She also said I should get and smoke weed. Maybe I should just have a hooker bring me the methadone and weed, and a pizza, and we can make it a party.
With my luck, it would be a tranny, he would have brought Mentos instead of methadone, smoked the weed on the way and ate all the pizza.

i could be mistaken, but my understanding is that methadone is an effective pain-killer with less of the side-effects of heroin/oxycontin type narcotics. addicts maintained on methadone have greatly increased levels of functioning compared to users of other opioids...
unless one of our resident docs can straighten me out, i think the lady gave you sound advice...
oh yeah, pot is one of the best anti-inflammatories known to man, to say nothing of it's contributions to appetite and an improved sense of well-being...
i recommend it without reservation...
