I had a partial vulvectomy to remove cancer from my perineum. Unfortunately it had leaked into my groin lymph nodes on the left side. After removing all this I had to have 33 rounds of radiation with the last 6 being “super” concentrated doses. These were located on my stomach/vaginal area. 
I was prescribed hydrocodone acetaminophen for pain but the side effects were very concerning. I only used them at night to try to help me sleep. 
A form of kratom, a pill form of 7oh, was the only thing that got me through this. There were no discernible side effects from kratom. 
I am asking to keep kratom as a legal option to help when needed. The benefits are much better than anything else available with no known side effects. I don’t know how I would have managed without it.
