How do you manage side effects from oxycodone for liver cancer pain?

a month agoI have hepatocellular carcinoma and my doctor prescribed oxycodone to help manage pain related to my cancer. They explained it's a strong pain medication for when other pain relievers aren't working well enough. I'm aware of side effects like drowsiness, constipation, and breathing issues, and that it needs to be taken exactly as prescribed since it can be habit-forming.
I'd love to connect with others who have dealt with similar pain management needs and hear about your experiences.
