My father is 59 years old and was diagnosed with 4th stage prostate cancer 2 years ago. He has over 40 tumors in his bones and after hormone treatment, radiation therapy and chemo, the tumors are still growing - causing extreme pain. At the moment he is taking ms contin, oxy contin, ordine, panadine forte etc. He has also had a stint on Ketamine to stabalise the pain. It’s only been a few weeks since his last visit to Cabrini Palliative Care and he is going back tomorrow as the morphine seems to not be working at all anymore. I know that there are other pain management strategies they can try but I have watched other relatives die from cancer… I am worried that the doctors are trying to give us hope where there might not be any. I am also concerned with how quickly he has become immune to the pain medication.
