DOCTOR, PLEASE HELP ME. I AM ALMOST 75 YEARS OF

DOCTOR, PLEASE HELP ME. I AM ALMOST 75 YEARS OF AGE AND HAVE SUFFERED CANCER FIVE TIMES. I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT GOD AND VERY GOOD DOCTORS HAVE SAVED EACH TIME. WITH THE OTHER CANCERS, AND SOMETIMES, RADIATION, MY DOCTORS HAVE PRESCRIBED GENERIC VICODIN WHEN I WAS IN GREAT PAIN. IT HAS ALWAYS RELIEVED THE PAIN. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM GETTING OFF OF IT. IT STOPS THE WITH NO BAD SIDE EFFECTS. THIS FIFTH CANCER IN QUITE DIFFERENT. IT WAS IN MY TONGUE WHICH REQUIRED THE REMOVAL OF 1/3 OF MY TONGUE. THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THE CANCER WAS IN THE CENTER OF A LOT OF NERVES, BUT, THEY HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CUT THROUGH THEM. I CAN ENDURE HAVING TROUBLE TALKING AND EATING, BUT I CANNOT ENDURE THIS AMOUNT OF PAIN ANY LONGER. THEY GAVE ME VICODIN FOR THE FIRST FEW WEEKS, BUT THEN SAID I COULD ONLY TAKE GABAPENTIN, TYLENOL, OR TRAMADOL BECAUSE VICODIN IS ADDICTIVE. THEY CUT MY TONGUE AND SEVERED THE NERVES ON APRIL 8, 2016. I COULD DEAL WITH THE PAIN TAKING VICODIN AND USING LIDOCAINE, BUT NOW THEY WON'T GIVE ME VICODIN FOR FEAR OF ADDICTION. THE PAIN HAS KEPT MY BLOOD PRESSURE VERY HIGH AND MY IRREGULAR HEART BEAT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I AM CONCERNED THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE A STROKE OR A HEART ATTACK. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WILL GET RID OF THIS PAIN AND IF NOT, PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO. I CAN'T CONTINUE TO LIVE THIS WAY. PLEASE HELP ME, GOD BLESS YOU. JAN WEBNER
