Why are the painkillers not working

Hello Folks,

I am just sat here at the PC wondering "why" not why has this happened to us but why when you leave the doctors surgery with so much hope praying that the new painkillers will work and give Nick some relief from the pain WHY did they not work! It was another bad evening and night....the hardest part for me so far is not hearing the news that Nick has a Lymphoma and is going to have to have Chemotherapy but it is seeing my wonderful husband in so much pain day after day and not being able to help him apart from being there to give him his medication as soon as time allows, many a day and night is spent clock watching until he can take his next set of tablets :(

But today is a new day and we shall see how Nick is when he wakes up.
