Wow.
Thank you all, so much, for the thoughts and well wishes.
Earlier this week my wife took me to see a palliative service. The doctor there was very perceptive and knowledgeable about cancer related pain. She adjusted my meds and by Thursday morning I was feeling much better. I actually got 6 hours of restfull sleep on Thursday night.
I had unfounded fears about palliative care. I thought that it was the same as giving up and giving in to cancer. I will still be receiving chemo (afinitor) and fighting off the cancer, but now I have someone wo knows how to help address my symptoms as I do it.
To be honest, I thought y'all were talking about someone else. "Gee, this Abunai sounds like a helluva guy!". Thank you all for the kind words. I still know that I don't have a long time to go, barring a breakthrough, but I'm hanging in there.

You have a great sense of humour!! All of us here are with you...don't ever think for one second you are alone xoxo. I am happy to hear you will be better taken care of. I hope you continue to be able to sleep well as you just did and that you are comfortable. Much love to you and your precious wife.
