I F*****G GIVE UP!!!
▶️ About This Channel:
I've always been a storyteller. I've written hundreds of short stories and multiple books, but I always sensed I was meant to share a different story.
MY story.
I wasn't sure what that was until I was diagnosed with STAGE 4 Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma (a SUPER rare type of cancer for which there is NO CURE).
I decided to embrace my motto of Living Out Loud and started sharing my journey in vlog format.
This is my story. Real. Raw. Unfiltered.

Dear Guillaume, I’m sorry you feel so poorly lately. I work with cancer patients every day and I know that cancer pain is one of the worse pains known to human kind. Unfortunately, popping occasional Tylenol won’t cut it, definitely not in stage 4. You need proper pain management agents and schedule to be worked out by palliative care team. Please request this as otherwise your quality of life will suffer immensely. I agree with other people here that you should admit yourself to the hospital ASAP (if not done yet) as cumulative dehydration, malnutrition and pain will only make your overall health worse. Please don’t wait 🙏 Gentle hugs 🤗 ❤
Please go to the hospital where you can get stronger pain meds and oxygen to breathe. It literally breaks my heart to see you like this!😢
😢
I've just come across your video. I'm really sorry you are going through this, just terrible for you 😔 I hope tomorrow is better for you ❤ much love from Australia 🌺🌺
My thought: you might need a few days in hospital to get your symptoms under control so you can feel better at home. If you go to Emergency and tell them what you've told us, I'm confident they will admit you. They WILL help you.
I'm thinking the same thing, especially with being home by himself.
Best comment by you. He needs assistance
Am sure he has already done that previously,...it's now about riding the storm with medication running in the system, until the negative symptoms subside....!!
I agree.
Don't feel like you're complaining. We all care and are here for you. Please take care of you. Let your doctor know where you're at. I pray for your comfort.
Guillaume, when the pain never goes away, your treatment is insufficient. One pill per day isn't a law of nature, you need what you need. I don't advise to just pop in whatever you get your hands on, but rather talk to your doc and explain the situation. In this day and age, there is absolutely _no_ reason to suffer from pain. Also ask for anti-emetics to get a grip on that puking sensation.
Another thing most people don't have on their radar: In your situation, pain isn't medicated when it rears its head, but _before._ That means, you need a medication plan that allows you to stay pain-free in the first place. This is not a headache where you take a pill if it happens once in a blue moon.
Take pain meds it will help your body heal! You do not have to suffer.
Maybe it's time to go to the hospital to get pain management straightened up. Do you have O2 at home. Do you need to have a humidifier? I'm so sorry to hear.
You should have narcotics. Like a patch. Go to the hospital. You said it yourself, you can't handle it right now
Yes, a humidifier would help you. Many drug stores carry them and also have free delivery.
As someone who had a very bad accident with massive injuries and ended up being so dependent on pain meds that i was taking 30 oxys a day, now sober for 3.5yrs… and will never ever go back on them… you need them… your body can’t rest/relax/heal when you are this bad off… your leg is acting up bc of all of the symptoms above and NO PAIN CONTROL/NO CALORIC INTAKE/ETC… this is why opiate pain meds were created.. stage 4 cancer patients… its not giving up- it waving the white flag and allowing your body to relax while the pain is ‘alleviated’… please please please go to the ER and demand a pain ,management consult and start some TPN or something for calories. Much love.
You are venting to us and it’s ok. You need to vent. We are listening.
💯 x
@@deannsmith8903 Thanks 🙏. It definitely felt good to vent.
@@LivingOutLoud-LWS4C 😢 Vent away. Praying 🙏 🤲 for relief for you.
Rn here. Please go to the ER or contact your doctor. You don’t need to be suffering like this. You need better pain control and better control of the nausea so you can eat. You are in a bad cycle of most likely dehydration which is creating even more dehydration.
These are normal side affects. My mum had the same...
I hope you went to ER although I don't go so not fair of me. I am stage 4 colon_liver cancer. I am blessed to have a wonderful pain management group. Palative care was almost none existent. I just did the 2 nd chemo, it's been constant for 2nyears. You dont need to suffer, but you have to tell Dr. I hope they have a good palative care team wherever you are. That cough, pain? You need to go in. I am about to give up but won't, so I get it. I hope by now you've gotten much needed help.
You need a pain management team to oversee your cancer pain.
Don't apologize for making this video, this is REAL and if the viewers can't handle feeling uncomfortable while you grapple with everything, they need to watch another channel! Best wishes Sir❤
Thanks 🙏. That's very kind of you to say.
The doctors should admit you to hospital. They can give you infusions when you cannot eat at least. I'm so sorry for you❤ I really hope that you feel better soon! Are you alone at home? Is there someone from your family.? Sending you much healing love and hugs❤
I’m very worried about you, please go to the hospital ❤
Sorry I worried you, but I assure you everything is fine. Things are gradually getting better.
Yes, pls do go to see doctor in ER to get help fr the doctors! Your cough is really bad that affects your breathing.
You need to be admitted to hospital; you are not meant to suffer like this alone in your apartment. You can be given meds for nausea, hydration & food via IV if necessary & strong pain medicine. Tylanol won’t cut it. I pray you will go to the ED asap & get the urgent help you need. 🥺🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
You just made me cry. I understand your feeling, I get the same way, I’m 63, this is my third cancer, third chemo out of 6. I leave in Florida and my cancer center is wonderful, the other day I was in so much pain, called my oncologist and she send me to the hospital, they have to give morphine bc i thought I was going to die. She gives me fluids every week and change nausea medicine to a stronger one. I have never take so many painkillers like this time, my back is on fire. I just want you to know that every cancer patient, we’re in this together, we’re fighting this battle. You’re too young, hang in there, try to be positive and talk to your Dr. about managing pain. My heart goes out for everyone is suffering this terrible decease. You’re on my prayers. Really hope you’re feel better.
I'm concerned, please go to hospital. 🦋
Just relax and don’t make videos when you are struggling. We will wait until you feel better
I think he is finding it cathartic to have a rant, to empty his head bless him x
@@NiechZyjePolska48 This was more about than catharsis than storytelling. Sometimes you just need to relieve the pressure.
This is where pain management shines. Because you're stage 4 you should get decent assistance. One thing that won't be helping is taking half doses of the Tylenol. It's using up your daily limit in an ineffective way and contributing to you not getting a break. A pain management appt will help you plan to cover your pain and stay ahead of it. Also you need to get your breathing assessed and you might get relief from portable oxygen. One thing that helps with breathing is a fan blowing in your face. There's many strategies that can help reign in your symptoms and improve the way you feel each day but you do need to speak to pain management via your oncology team. It is crucial you do this.
You should start palliative care. They will help,with pain and you can still continue treatment. Palliative and hospice are not giving up but gives you a much better quality of life.
I agree!
Are those services for people who are on their deathbed?
@@LivingOutLoud-LWS4C it’s just pain management …. You don’t have to be on your deathbed….i wish you strength and comfort 💜
Just found your channel. I'm sorry u are suffering. It's really not fair. Take care. Xxx
Palliative is not hospice care. They're there to help support those living with illnesses by showing them how to live more comfortably with it going forward. The goal is to help us live a better life with it. I highly recommend you check into it.
s@@LivingOutLoud-LWS4C
I wish you had someone with you right now. I’m asking the lord to help you even though you don’t believe in him. You are still his child.
pls don't annoy ppl with beliefs they don't have. The majority of the world believes in something different than you. Why do you think you are more right than all of them? Just send your good wishes and leave it like that.
@@jdmmg4904 Good morning and mind your own business!! Don’t worry about what I say to the man ok because I’m not talking to you!
Nobody is annoyed. Everyone has different beliefs and they can express them as they want to
@@deannsmith8903 Thanks 🙏. Much appreciated.
🙏 to whatever God you believe in, the more the merrier❤❤!! It doesn't hurt to cover all of your bases😂@@jdmmg4904
He suffered way more on the cross for your sins , turn to him , he loves your his mercy endures forever. ❤
I complain about life, then I watch this video! I'm ashamed. God bless you sir, my heart goes out to you!
Can you get put on hospice? They will come daily and check on you and make sure you are comfortable. Praying for you daily and hope you find some comfort.
Thanks for the prayers 🙏 and kind words. Much appreciated.
Get help please,you don't have to suffer...
You need a new doctor with a new method of treatment! Please.
You have reached your limit of tolerance for this situation. You said you are broken...I agree. Please get admitted into hospital where you can get better controlled pain meds and help breathing.....it will give your body a chance to recover so that you feel better. Sending love and hugs for healing.
Thanks for the love and the hugs 🙏. Much appreciated.
Please reach out to your team. I think you need more care for a short time. I know it is hard to ask for help but you deserve it.
I don’t understand why you’re not on a pain management regimen. You shouldn’t have to deal with pain like that. You should definitely talk to your health care team.
You also need opioids for the pain and not Tylenol. WTF? Get some help.
This has been going on for a few days and doesnt look like it is going to go away on its own. Please go to the hospital. Insist on being admitted . If the leg pain gets worse you may have difficulty taking public transport. Please do something about this before that happens.
@@Sunshine-zi4nq Thanks for caring, but I don't WANT to be admitted. That is the last thing I want. And things have been getting better these last few days, so we're definitely moving in the right direction.
I am so sorry you’re going through all of this. SCREAMING IT ON THE MOUNTAIN!! You have every right to feel what you feel and to say what you need to say. That’s what most of us are here for. We are here to listen and to support you through the good days and bad. I been fighting cancer for 12 years but I was never a stage 4 so I cannot put myself in your shoes but know this, there are people who care and people who pray for you and I am one of them. I am so sorry your hurting
Thanks 🙏. And you're absolutely right. I am incredibly lucky to be surrounded by so many caring and supportive people.
I can’t believe you’re just on Tylenol with 4th stage cancer! Please get some stronger meds…I can’t believe your doctors would let you live like this!
That's right some doctors have no idea!
There are no words to describe how badly I feel watching you struggle and be in so much pain G. I know you're super strong,smart and independent but please ask for help. We are worried.😔😓
Don't worry. I'm not suffering in silence. I always keep my doctors informed of everything that happens.
May Jesus Christ himself touch you with his grace and see you through I need not know you to love you and I do
Geez bro . Theres no way you have to be suffering needlessly like this .get to ER asap and you shoukd be in hospital to get your symptoms inder control.demand stronger pain meds
Morphine etc.
You should have a palliative care team responding immediately asap
Your dehydration malnutrition have to be addressed too
Many Prayers and Blessings for you bro❤
So very sorry! I also have stage 4 lung cancer that I know how hard this is for you. I Pray and the Lord gives me relief for a while. Prayer 🙏 for you
Sorry to hear that. I hope it's not too painful for you. How long have you had it?
3B for me... inoperable tons of lymph node involvement. So afraid of what is coming. So sorry others are also going through this awful disease. It is the worst.
I hope somehow you are doing better.
You should go to the hospital or even an urgent care. You shouldn't be in pain. Tylenol is a joke. I can't believe you haven't been given a prescription pain med and something for anxiety. They have to do better for you.! You need help. 🙏😢🙏
@darlenepietzak9847. For a stage 4 cancer patient his pain medication is absolutely woeful ‼️People take bloody Tylenol for a headache ‼️‼️
Hospice has access the😊 things for you that your doctors CANNOT provide.
Er trip you need to be prescribed some strong pain pills and help you to get your breathing under control!!!!❤❤❤❤ plz seek help do not suffer.
What about THC infused Edibles? They should stimulate your appetite and reduce nausea!
OMG! Listen! You need a stronger painregimen. And you need to take it before pain strikes. This is something that should have been managed with "healthcare",what is WRONG with them? Tylenol for this!! You must take hold of this - otherwise pain will take over you. Believe me,I know.
I agree with others that you need to go to the emergency room and let them help you get stabilized, please🙏. It's not weakness to go ask for help 🤗🙏. You need some rest and don't worry about making videos, we're still praying for you and we'll be right here... Never ever ever give up 🙏🤗
Thanks for your kind words 🙏. Much appreciated.
Please go to hospital please. You need help and oxygen. You cant do this on your own. Dont torture yourself just get help. You clearly need it now 😢😢❤❤❤❤
I agree with everyone else - go to ER
I am heartbroken and SO worried about you , if I were with you now I would call an ambulance and give you a ( motherly ) hug . You are like me stoic , too much for your own good sometimes , hate complaining and making a ‘ fuss’ . Well you need to make a bloody fuss on this occasion , you need HELP ‼️. You cannot be expected to cope with this level of pain and discomfort on your own , please please for us if not yourself pick up the phone and ask for help …. Never worry about venting in front of us , this is REAL life not some fairy tale and people don’t have to watch …. Please @G ask for the help you need and deserve , post whenever you are able , I wish I could be with you right now , take care darling , you are in my thoughts and prayers 💙
Agreed. He should call an ambulance that way they will have to admit him. I hope a neighbour, friend or family member can help if he is too weak. I fear if he collapses when alone, nobody will know.
@@Sunshine-zi4nq SO worried about him , amazing guy who deserves SO much better 💔
I appreciate your concern and your kind words (as usual). However I assure you that I am doing what is necessary. Not only do I keep my doctors up to date on everything that happens, but I have never chosen to not go to the ER and regretted it. I always do whatever is best for me and feels right, even if some people misinterpret it as me "trying to be brave" or "ignoring reality".
Can you not get hospice care? They will control your pain
Honestly, I have no idea how that works.
Sounds like you need to get a new f****** doctor if you're in that much pain and he's allowing you to be
@@danajonesnolan2547 I appreciate the thought, but doctors are limited by what they can do to help. It's not a lack of desire but rather a lack of means to help.
You look exhausted. Get strong pain meds just dont suffer unnecessarily
Take time off from making videos if you need to. Perhaps just update us via the community page. This isnt a time to be stoic or hopeful things will get better if you do nothing. Please get the help you need at the hospital. Have you checked your oxygen levels? If they are low that is enough reason to be admitted. Sounds like your body isnt digesting food.😢
Please go to the ER. You're too unwell to be at home alone. Your oxygen saturation alone, will get you admitted. You're also sure to be dehydrated.
Don't take chances with this. You CAN be helped. And you're not "complaining", you're seriously ill.
You don’t have to live like this, your pain can be better controlled. Please let your Dr. know what’s going on. They may be able to send a home health nurse to help you a lot. Or go to the ER, sorry to have to suggest that because it sucks, but so does suffering. I hope you are feeling much better soon.
I know you're trying to help and I appreciate it. What I don't understand is why some people assume I'm doing nothing. I keep my pivot nurse up to date on everything that happens and she is in contact with all my doctors. It's not like I'm suffering needlessly in silence.
your supposed team should not have you in this state tell them its unacceptable!
This sounds really hard. I think it’s important you are sharing this side too. Perhaps ask for stronger meds at least for a bit of relief so you can sleep well. Tylenol might not be enough right now. Just something to think about. You absolutely do not suck at everything btw. Sending love your way.
@@okallie Thanks 🙏. And you're right. I just suck as SOME things 🤣.
Hospice has meds that control pain; also helps with breathing; and even coughing. Call your local hospice. They will come see you- probably same day or next. They will provide you with meds, and things to help.
Chronic pain is a prison. Team that with sickness, it’s no wonder you are at the end of your tether.
Please get to your team/ hospital soon where they can give you anti-nausea meds, and stronger pain relief until this passes.
These symptoms can be better controlled with the support of your oncology team.
@@KathySong1 Yeah. I keep my doctors up to date on everything that happens.
Swear away lovey. This sucks. Please speak to your medical team again to see if they can help at all or have any advice. In the meantime, continue to swear and letting it all out!
Hahaha. Will f****ing do that 🤣.
Please get something stronger than Tylenol. There’s no virtue in suffering so much. I understand the desire to “take it”, I’m in my last 6 months of life and I want to be with it as much as possible, but I came to realize I don’t get a prize for being “strong”.
Sending you peace and calm on your journey ❤
Sorry you're going through that. Congratulations on choosing to go through it in the way that makes the most sense to you.
As a chronic pain patient (13 major spinal surgeries) no one should have to be in constant pain! Over the years I have had various doses of pain medication depending on the stage of my recovery from surgery. I know that many doctors currently don’t want to prescribe pain medication sufficient to alleviate the pain. The pendulum has swung way too far from treating pain patients with copious amounts of pain medication to insufficient amounts of pain medication for fear that they will lose their medical license! I hope you can find the help you deserve! ❤
Sorry you had to go through that. Sounds very painful.
Please do not worry about providing more videos right now! Bless your sweet heart! I feel the grandmother in me coming out strongly right now! I wish I could just reach out and put a cool cloth to your forehead and bring you a big soft pillow and sing you to sleep😢 I agree with others that you need to reach out very soon to your hospital and Oncologist if possible, please.
Keeping you in prayer always!!❤
Thanks 🙏. You're very kind.
@@LivingOutLoud-LWS4C You are very, very lovable and so inspiring!❤
Poor guy ❤ wish you could be cured of this horrible cancer
Thanks 🙏, but I like to think that everything happy for a reason, so I'm trying to make the most of this experience.
@@LivingOutLoud-LWS4C 🫂❤️
You need something stronger than Tylenol. And Zofran for the nausea. Or have you tried marijuana? Go to the ER. You need a reevaluation of your meds overall. The leg pain isn’t going to get better. You’re not going to get less nauseous. What are you waiting for? Seriously. What’s stopping you from getting help? .
@@majcherj1 Actually, the leg pain IS getting better. So are the other symptoms. Crazy how that works, huh?
To answer your questions, I'm waiting for the self-proclaimed experts who leave comments telling people going through difficult times what they should do. How else could I possibly figure out what is the right thing to do?
@@LivingOutLoud-LWS4C Yay!!!!!!! So glad to hear it.
They can do something to help you with the pain. Constant pain will affect your ability to cope as will lack of sleep. Call this a fuckit day, tomorrow’s a new one, it’s okay to have a bad day. Lots of love and light. 💙💙💙💙💙
Thanks 🙏. Much appreciated.
I don't know much about your story, but I've been through Stage 3C Breast Cancer. Listening to this has all the alarm bells going off inside my head. Your pain IS NOT being controlled the way it should be! You are going to have to advocate for yourself and let your doctor know what's going on. You need to have enough pain meds on hand so you can stay on top of the pain. I'm not talking about Tylenol either! You should be given meds that are scheduled and others for the breakthrough pain. There is no reason you should be suffering this much. Also, there are antinausea meds that dissolve under the tongue in a matter of seconds and help so much. Please reach out to your doctor. One last thing, sleeping with a wedge pillow might make the breathing a bit easier during your long nights. Try to take care of yourself.
Brother ive had cancer twice plz go to the hospital. You seem very stessed plz just go. Your bad ass and you know it. But your human plz just go beother
Hospice has meds that control pain; also helps with breathing; and even coughing. Call your local hospice. They will come see you- probably same day or next. They will provide you with meds, and things to help.
@@JilSpangenberg-ys7fz Isn't hospice for people who are on their deathbed?
@@LivingOutLoud-LWS4C it's for those who have a terminal illness that may take their life in 6 months. But many people go on Hospice a year or more before. There is a lot more help from hospice than other palliative care options s,
They can change your pain meds and help the nausea. Honey please, call your doctor.
@@angelaf5040 I ALWAYS keep my doctors up to o date on everything that happens.
Please go to the hospital or at least contact your oncology team. Sending a huge hug x
Thanks for the hug 🙏. Much appreciated.
My friend I agree with a few people here. You may need some hospital time to sort things out. Praying for you. I wish you had help with you.
❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸
Thanks for the prayers 🙏. Much appreciated.
You need some sort of hospice care from this point
"From this point." Meaning what exactly? 🤔
Hi Guillaume, I feel so badly for you. Instead of going to ER and waiting, call the specialist’s office and ask that he call you. Tell him that you can’t get a break between the pain, coughing, and throwing up. He can have a prescription sent to your pharmacy or I think he may want to admit you to hospital so they can give you oxygen and monitor pain meds to see what you need. This is craziness that you are going through all this. You need a break from the pain as this is not acceptable when it can be managed. I’m praying for better days ahead and I hope you will say a prayer too. May God bless and heal you my friend. ❤️🇨🇦🙏
Thanks 🙏. And don't worry, I keep my doctors up to date on everything that happens.
I'm sorry it's so bad right now. I'm praying for you. Tylenol never works for me.
Thanks for the prayers 🙏. And sorry to hear Tylenol doesn't work for you. It's worked quite well for me thus far.
I know you are not going to like this but you need some professional help....
You sound like you are teetering on the edge, dangerous place to be.
What kind of professional help are you referring to?
What I saw on you video was someone in need of psychological counseling. I was happy to see you better on subsequent videos.
@@ThomasMckain Things are definitely getting better.
My friend, I hope you have put in place a plan for emergency help. Living alone, you might need someone to call for help or bring you to the hospital. Toughing it out will only weaken you. I think given your diagnosis they should give you something stronger for pain. Also , why is the leg that previously not in pain now ache? I would ask to have that checked.
Waiting and hoping to see you better.
@@blesseddc5093 Don't worry, I keep my doctors up to date on everything that goes on.
You can be on hospice and always discharge or graduate off.
You should inquire with your doctors re dilaudid, I know people with this condition who find great comfort with it. They say it gave them the best sleep ever.
Thanks for the suggestion 🙏.
Keep fighting mate, I know you must be feeling terrible with this going on for 2 weeks, however just know you had a TON of people cheering you. Having a bad day is absolutely fine, like you said give up, get up and go again. Huge love brother.
Thanks 🙏. Much appreciated.
Benedryl can help with that "nausea" feeling. I have a nausea condition and it helps me. Maybe it's something you can try. I take 50mg (two pills)
Thanks for the suggestion 🙏.
Get pain management! I hope you’ve gotten help. I know this video is old. I hope you’re better. Get your Dr to manage your symptoms!!!!!!!!!
Guillaume, you need palliative care. Even if you live the next 20 years, you need help now. That’s what it’s there for. You should be a lot more comfortable to be able to focus on healing. You won’t heal doing this.
@@eugene54547 Isn't palliative care for people who are on their deathbed?
@@LivingOutLoud-LWS4C no Guillaume. You have a chronic, serious disease . Palliative care is there to minimise pain and anxiety.
@LivingOutLoud-LWS4C palliative is not deathbed. It's for anyone living with a chronic health problem. There are services to help you live a more comfortable and better life based on your needs. People really mix palliative and hospice up. My mom is palliative, but she doesn't have cancer. I take care of her, and she suffers from chronic health problems. I have services that come into help. It's to make your life better , not for dying. She has meals delivered, PSW, physio coming in, nurse to check on her blood pressure. It's so she doesn't have to go to the hospital. Its like at home care for people with any disabilities that interrupt their regular activities or quality of life. They even come to take her blood. Talk to a palliative care team. There is usually a pain management team attached to that as well. Here in Ontario, it's called Champlain. Due to you already having a diagnosis and cancer, you qualify 100%. Save your energy and get meals sent. We even saw a free nutritionalist. Heart to homes is even free meals . Also, ask your doctor about Para transpo... yes , I'm giving advice because I really really care. Xxx💙
@@mandyauger1035 Thanks for the detailed explanation 🙏. I appreciate it.
Oh Guillaume this is the first time I’ve seen and heard you truly so poorly 😢it’s time to get some better pain medicine and nutrition through intravenous drip. Oh goodness I send you sincere thoughts of healing and love ❤
@@EmmaBakesCakes Thanks 🙏, but this was more therapeutic (a way to relieve pressure) than anything else. Things are better now. Not back to normal, but heading in the right direction.
@@LivingOutLoud-LWS4C glad to hear it. Take care xx
I get where you are coming from- for whatever it's worth. I told my home healthcare social worker that I wish AZ had passed that death with dignity law so I could end this sooner. I get it. Every day brings even more. You just throw your hands up and holler "STOP IT!!!
pardon me if youre not interested in this 🙏🏾
but some people some ppl sign onto palliative .. thru dr or medical .. because - they - can give a level of pain relief ya ? and its not the end its just a decent amount of relief and help id think ? in the circumstances ?
who is it helping if youre in agony and choking & crying .. and im sincerely sorry that you feel so rotten 🙏🏾🙏🏾 it sucks ---

RESPECT YOUR STRENGTH SO MUCH
I appreciate your suggestion. You're definitely not the first person to mention it. I just have no idea how it works.
Where is your wife?
@@janevanreenen8768 In Nicaragua. We're still waiting for things to open up on the immigration front. Hopefully it will be soon.
@@LivingOutLoud-LWS4C I hope and pray it happens soon✨
Go to hospital for pain control and stabilize your cough and shortness of breathe. Plus they can tx your nausea. Prayrrs to you.
Thanks for the prayers 🙏.
Please go to ER.
I'm not good with words, so I won't use a vapid cliché phrase that you've probably heard a million times before and are (rightfully) tired of hearing. Life sucks. Here's some cash.
I hope you don't take offense to this, but what you said made me laugh: "Lif sucks. Here's some cash." 🤣
I want you to know how much I appreciate your kind gesture and equally kind words. Thanks 🙏.
Opiates helps with pain,coffing,sleep and are a bit moodlifting. Just take em!
Not sure if ENDONE HELP THIS KIND OF PAIN???
@@travels129 dont know what ”endone” is.
Have you ever heard of Wim Hoff breathing technique? It would help me in times of lung restriction. Have you heard of the Budwig protocol? I feel like it oxygenated my body and helped me get my weight up. Best of luck to you.
I LOVE Wim Hoff. Unfortunately, the coughing gets triggered whenever I take deep breaths, so that currently prohibits me from using the Wim Hoff Method. But I really appreciate the suggestion 🙏.
Am really 😢 for you. Do you have any appointments in the coming week? If you do , tell them it is too hard to manage. That you need help with the symptoms. A short hospital stay might be in order to give you some relief. It isnt about pushing yourself to your limit. That isnt going to help you, it will only wear you down.
@@nesadcruz7840 Thanks 🙏, but this video was more about catharsis. Things are better now.
Tylenol? Are they so opiate phobic now that they don't give proper pain meds to cancer victims?
It seems so. How horrible is that ?
No they do ..well here they do
It's not that. It's that a lot of pain meds interference with treatments or other meds I'm taking. Tylenol is one of my only options.
@@LivingOutLoud-LWS4C Tylenol is one of the worst for your liver,and not to take too many. You need opidoids or Oxynorm as first solution they are less dangerous than Tylenol in your situation.
You need better pain management!!
Talk to your doc about that ASAP! Maybe he can refer you to a pain management team.
I'm sure there are better ways to deal with this. Stop being a tough guy!!
Why won't you go to the hospital?
Because I will have to spend the entire day in the ER for them to tell me "Go home and take pain pills as needed."
@@LivingOutLoud-LWS4Cyea iv lied in ER all night just laying there lights on causes anxiety makes things worse and nobody paying attention but your in pain they would attend to it immediately
I know how you feel. I too have cancer. Last night my back pain was unbearable. It’s been that way for 2 months. I also have constant low grade nausea. I too am due for a break. Today I ‘gave up’ & resigned myself to doing nothing but coping. Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully a reprieve for us. Recommend relax, try not thinking too much, pain meds & rest. If nothing else, I’ll be in better shape emotionally tomorrow to deal with it. You’re hopefully not giving up…just taking a much needed rest
@@pierrettehebert3044 I'm sorry you're going through that. I hope things get better for you soon. You deserve a break.
Greetings from across the pond! I know your healthcare system is bad. You are on your own if you don't have heath insurance! Our NHS is rocky but still able to almost cope.
Why just taking Tylenol? You need MUCH stronger pain killers!
Try Jared baby food. The fruit ones are pretty yummy,especially the banana. Hopefully you can keep those down.
Thanks for the suggestion 🙏.
Ask for pain patches. You shouldn’t be suffering in pain. There is always something they can prescribe to stop pain. Call your oncologist. Tell him you need to see pain management. 👍❤️👍
Please go to ER & get some help 😢 , I wish you all the best 🙏🍀🇦🇺
Thanks for your kind words 🙏.
Take pain meds, there is no reason not to and all the reasons why you should.
Who said I wasn't?
For some reason I thought you were against taking meds. My bad. I’m glad to hear you are. I hope for better days ahead for you. I pray for healing. I pray for your wife to be by your side.
@@maryann823 Medication definitely isn't my first choice, but I do what I have to do. Thanks for your kind words 🙏.
Please get that pain under control- a pain management team can really assist! Not tolerating food is a reason to be admitted to the hospital.
Oh, I have plenty of "good" reasons to be admitted. It's just not something I'm interested in. I've spent enough time in hospitals to know when it's best to be home and whan it's best to be in the hospital.
I just found your channel. Please please please to the ER, that breathing is serious, you need oxigen and maybe antibiotics. You could have a massive phenomia. Going on like that you will become terrible weak. Just my 2 cents❤
I am so sorry to see you in this much pain. We are all with you brother. 💌
Thanks 🙏. Much appreciated.
Please contact Hospice. If you have cancer that has no cure, you qualify. They will provide pain relief, oxygen, comfort care. Please, please, please call them! No one should live this way! I’m so sorry to see you go through this. 😞
@@KS-yp1jl I did not know this. He needs to start seeing a pain specialist then. Poor guy. 😞
I have no idea how that works, but I always assumed it was for people who were on their deathbed.
You need WAY more meds. More pain meds for sure. Probably oxygen at least for a while. And something to stop you from feeling sick. This is 2024, not 1824, we have these meds available! Go to the ER or if you prefer, wait and talk to your doctor, but for crying out loud, you are insanely under medicated for a stage 4 cancer patient! You may need to go into the hospital for a couple of days to get everything under better control, get you some fluids too via IV (that will help with the nausea). Please, don't just suffer! BSN here, by the way.
I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. I just found this video and wanted to send you prayers but, if you’re so miserable and need medical help then I think you should go to the ER and low them to admit you into the hospital. If I may ask, why are you allowing yourself to go through this and if you’re not getting any help? My prayers are with you and also, what about meditation? It can help you to be calm and also a little better attitude too. I was born with a disability and use a wheelchair to get around and also a dialysis patient for 16 yrs. Have had breast cancer and the whole time I was going through the radiation treatments I kept a great attitude DN yes, it got hard on me but I kept moving forward. God bless you always. Sue in Florida.🙏🙏🙏🤞🏼👍🏻
Sorry you had to go through all that. Sounds intense. But it sounds like you have a great attitude and are making the best of it.
What I don't understand is why people automatically assume I'm doing nothing. I keep my doctors up to date on EVERYTHING that happens and we always do whatever is best given the situation. But difficult times are unavoidable and this happens to be one of them. Things always get better. ALWAYS!
I don't know enough about cancer to know if you need a hospital right now, but what I do know is that when we feel poorly we don't always know what we need. It's hard to see the forest for the trees kind of thing. It would be worth it to consider the advice you've gotten here. Also, I'm proud of you for posting this vulnerable video.
I appreciate it, but I will always do what feels right no matter what others say. If I listened to what others say, I would be in the hospital right now... but I would also have given up and I'd be waiting for death. So, although I really appreciate your concern, I don't regret not going to the ER.
