"i recently had a heart attack on top of my cancer and at the hospital they gave me this medicine to help control my pain. before i had used it i was using oxycodone, but that had never truly worked to control my pain. dilaudid, while also not fully relieving the pain, did a much greater job. unfortunately they would not allow me to take it at home, so now i am suffering because i know what it feels like to have my pain managed and the oxycodone just isn&#039;t enough."
