Hello Mamo,

I just wanted to stop by and welcome you to our forum.

Such good news that your son has finished his treatment and given the all clear in December! But I’m sorry to hear he became addicted to Fentanyl.

We have some information on our website about Fentanyl I’d like to share with you and maybe  it will be of some help: http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/cancers-in-general/treatment/cancer-drugs/fentanyl?navigationURL=%2Fabout-cancer%2Fcancers-in-general%2Ftreatment%2Fcancer-drugs%2Ffentanyl&select.x=5&select.y=5 there is also a part that talks about addiction and you can read more about it here: http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/coping/physically/cancer-and-pain-control/treating-pain/worries-about-taking-painkillers#addiction

I hope this helps Mamo.

Best wishes,
