Hi five years ago I had half of 1 kidney removed from cancer. I was told I had good margins. And all would be well. Last five year scan found cancer in my spine and rib. I was told it was terminal. However a drug called sutent would give me 5yrs.However it didn't work for me. I was then put on immutherpy. Again didn't work. Now it's just morphine for the awful pain I'm under.. However I'm having breathing trouble. Because of the morphine. Any advice please. I feel so alone everyday. I can't get out at all.
Have you considered this group Living with incurable cancer forum - patients only My cancer has spread too and is incurable so I am a member. I think you might have a better chance of finding someone with experience of morphine there. Also, people in this group are used to the medical (generic), mental and social challenges that come with an incurable diagnosis, so you might get better reach there. It also offers online company as it's a busy forum with daily chat, frequently not about cancer.
Hi Mumm
"my cancer has spread too................" When my wife was diagnosed, she too was told it was incurable and we have always worried that it would spread, so your news is worrying. Have you been switched to a different treatment regime, if so, which? My wife's onco says 'your condition is stable' and seems happy but your tumour spreading is a worrying development.
