- Your anti-cancer drug can cause stomach pain, and
- Your tumor causes pain when it is compressed by food and/or gas, and
- Radiation therapy can cause pain in a 'minimal' margin around the outside of the tumor where healthy tissue gets irradiated, and
- Hunger can cause stomach pain, and
- You have stomach pain?
I don’t know, either. So, I’m back taking the pain meds and trying to eat, hoping that things resolve themselves.

After my second night back on my old sleeping pills, I woke about 6AM to visit the little boy’s room. I went back to bed and tried to sleep some more, but it didn’t end up being normal sleep. Really strange feelings….
When I did get up, I found that, as good as I had felt the last couple of days fatigue-wise, I felt exactly the opposite today. Really wasted! The only thing that I can figure is that these are part of the withdrawal symptoms of the Temazepam.
So, here I am, really tired, sleep-wise, and really fatigued. I wanted to stay awake so I can sleep tonight but I had a hard time doing so. Just typing this makes me want to sleep. It doesn’t help that I’m lying down in my bed typing this, either. So, I took another long hot bath and read a book. Something that required some concentration, but not too much.
Am I making any sense at all? That’s how tired I am.
Tomorrow’s lab tests will tell me if I’m to go back on the rat poison. And Tuesday starts the new Round 3.
Oh, and BTW, kunolunkwa!

In answer to "what do you when.....", I don't have the tumor or cancer part, but several of the other symptoms have been present at times. That's when I either eat ICE CREAM, or consume large quantities of alcohol.
Each has their own side-effect, but each feels good at the time.
You know, I forgot that one doctor of the day had said that ice cream would become my "best friend." But I've been trying to stay away from cold foods. Warm feels a lot better.
As for alcohol, do you have to tease me like that? :-) Oh how I would love to have just a couple of stiff ones on an empty stomach so they would hit quick, hit hard, but leave no "ill" effects the next day. I'm already unsteady enough....
I guess I just need something to look forward to. LOL
