Caring for someone with cancer Pain

Pain

Offline Gemini23 over 6 years ago

My husband Stage 4 inoperable stomach cancer never used have pain

Now it’s horrendous

He’s on 62mcg fentanyl patches, 100mg pregablin and oxycodone liquid 10mg:10mls

The pain eases for like an hour then he’s reaching out for more analgesia

He looks dosed up enough to me yet I can see he’s clearly still in a great deal of pain

Hi Gemini,
I'm sorry to hear your husband is in quite a bit of pain at the moment.
Is it possible for you to get in touch with his medical team? If so, do let them know what is happening as they will be able to advise on what else you may be able to do to help.
I can't being to imagine how difficult this must be for you but stay strong and remember we are here for you when you need us.
Best wishes to you both,

He’s had to go back into Chrisites to hopefully manage his pain better

I'm sorry to hear your husband had to go back to Christies but like you say, they will hopefully be able to manage his pain better at this time.
Kind regards,
