Hi everyone,

I’ve been undergoing treatment for lung cancer and, lately, the pain has been getting worse. My oncologist prescribed morphine to help manage it, but I’m concerned about becoming dependent on it. Has anyone else faced this? How do you balance effective pain relief with concerns about long-term medication use? 

I’m also interested in any non-drug methods that have worked for others, like acupuncture or meditation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
