cmeandk Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 I thought I would give you folks an update on my father. The ctscan showed that the cancer has spread.............yet again. The pain he is in is unbearable and the onc just keeps upping the dosage of the oxycotin and percocet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Just from reading the boards, and not based on any personal experience, I would have to say that the pain meds are not working and that your father should contact a pain management Dr. This is a relatively new specialty area and pain relief is possible in almost 100 percent of cases. There are stronger medicines available. Your father may have developed a resistance to the meds he is on. I am sorry to hear that the cancer has spread and that he is in pain. I will keep your father, you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. love and fortitude elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmeandk Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 Thankyou for all your thoughts and prayers. He is at chemo now. And hopefully they will find out what is causing all the swelling in his right foot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayFrog Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Thinking of you and your dad; hoping his pain can be controlled. Ask the docs about the Fentanyl patch for pain control....it can work wonders Hoping for the best, Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berisa Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Did they increase the dosage of Morphine? I am so so sorry to hear that your dad is not feeling well and I understand that you all must be very upset and disappointed. Please make your dad happy and have a strong spirit. Don't let him give up soon. Please tell him how important he is to you. Encouraging him and cheer him up. Meet the doctor and I think pain management is the current key key issue to solve. My prayers are with your dad and you. Hang in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
