Hi my mum has been put on mst continus 10mg and severdol 10mg when needed. She had a bad day on Friday but seemed to pick up on Saturday and Sunday. I was putting her drowsiness and confusion down to the morphine but she has woken up really confused and can’t remember what she wants to say. Can anyone advise what might be going on with her? She hasn’t seen an oncologist yet and hasn’t had a prognosis. I’m really worried as she is really badly confused one day and then not too bad the next?
she’s not eating much but is drinking plenty of fluids

Hi Doodies mum sorry to hear about your mum. The confusion can be caused by a number of things, but you really need to mention this to someone in your mums medical team. If you can’t speak to someone in oncology then phone her GP. If mums condition get worse or changes quickly, then please call 111 for advice. X

I agree with chelle, you really need to mention this to a doctor. When I had a lobectomy last year I was given a painkiller I'd never had before and it made me hallucinate in addition to making me confused. Your mum's team needs to sort out whether or not the medication is contributing to her confusion.
