Q: my mother has cancer, and has been taking oxycodone for about 2 years as an occasional pain reliever. she just got surgery and she started taking it more frequently. Now shes experiencing extreme head pain, vomiting, and is easily tired. could this be side effects of the oxycodone?
please anything helps, if you have experienced something like this it would be nice to hear someone elses point of view.
thankyou

Sweetheart, I'm so sorry...cancer can be so devastating!
Your mom is in a lot of pain right now. You say she just had cancer surgery?
Is she receiving any type of other treatments? Radiation? Chemotherapy? Maybe she just isn't telling you because she is afraid you'll worry more?
It's not unusual to follow up cancer surgery with radiation and/or chemotherapy treatments (btw, chemotherapy can come in the form of a pill). Both of those treatments cause the symptoms your describing above.
It sounds like your mom is being strong for your sake.
Just be as supportive as you can, because I'm sure she is doing the best she can to struggle through this!
In fact, the best things you can do:
When she is feeling unwell and tired, offer to help her out around the house doing whatever you can!
Be sure to let her know how very much you love her, EVERY DAY, because right now EVERY DAY is a battle for her.. and
Tell her how proud you are of her for fighting so hard against this terrible disease!
Love and Blessings,
Jasmine

I should have shared this with you earlier..but I want to let you know that I nursed my mother when she had cancer..so I REALLY know the feelings you must be going through, and how scary it can be.
I had to come back to tell you that I'm here if you need me. Just message me anytime. Okay?
Hang in there sweetie...I truly know how hard it is: you and your mother are in my thoughts and I am sending many blessings to you both.

I'm a 36 year old mom who has too much life experience. I realize that, no matter your age, life throws some crazy curve balls at you when you least expect it. I know in my heart that absolutely no one is perfect..and we all make wrong decisions at one time or another; and sometimes we just need someone to help us out without being judgmental! Furthermore, I think that the only stupid question is the one that you don't ask...knowledge is power.
One of my favorite sayings:
"If you live in a glass house, don't throw stones."
Well folks, we ALL live in glass houses at one time or another!
Never say never,
Jasmine
