MDS and pain

Hi Helen: Sorry to hear about your husband's pain. Early in my treatment in '07 I couldn't sleep, hardly ate, lost 35 pounds. Complained endlessly at treatment, nothing done. On third trip to ER, Dr. in 10 seconds told me I was allergic to the anti-nausea medicine. End of problem. It seems the oncologists concentrate on the cancer and have issues with other problems. If you have a good pcp I would go to him and then he should be able to direct you to the proper doctor. If I would have done this in the first place I could have saved myself 3 months of agony. I now take nothing for granted, question everything and look everywhere for the answer. Good luck and I will pray for you.
