My oncologist begged me to go back on oxy

Headache, ears ringing for 6 weeks now.  Started before I quit the oxy.
Almost went to er last nite cause pain, but called dr instead.
He begged me to get back in n the oxy.  I refused. (Had severe allergic reaction 2 weeks ago, scared to take them now.  Dug out my eppy pin)
So instead, he rx'd dex again. (Steroids). I pray they work.
Thanks in advance for reading this.

Thank you for your prayers.
I was in so much pain I completely forgot to tell the oncologist about the allergic reaction.  It was scary.  I see him we'd and will tell him.  I'm sure he will put me back on chemo. (Took a break for a month)
Taking tylonel fr migraine and a non sleepy non narcotic muscle relaxer that I have.

I'm sorry you're in pain.   Does your oncologist know you had an allergic reaction to pain meds?
