Hi All

Hi everyone.I am a 5 year breast cancer suvivor dealing with long term effects of chemo.My onc had me on oxicodone which she had me taper off.I had built up a tolerance/ addiction.As of last week the worst of the withdrawl symptoms are over but i am left with the pain I was medicated for in the first place.Hoping to find some folks in similar situations.Looking foward to meeting you.
