John,

Sorry to hear of your plight. I've been gone from the board for awhile, so I don't know your story. However, if you're in that much agony...well, you shouldn't be. There are alternatives for pain management. Maybe not a painfree existence, but better than what you're suffering through right now. If you can't take pills, there are liquids/elixirs, extended-release patches, etc.

Like HD suggests, give your oncologist a call. You probably won't get him/her tonight or over the weekend. You'll probably get whomever's covering for the weekend. Or you might get lucky and get him/her. You won't know 'til you try. And oncologists are used to taking care of issues like this. Due to the nature of their business, generally they're not as hard-nosed about the "no narcotic prescriptions after regular business hours" policy that most docs have.

And if all else fails, go to the ER for proper pain relief.

You're not supposed to sweat out this stuff alone.

edit: Rick beat me to it. So there: three people telling you what to do, now.
