Hello and sorry if this has been posted before in some form somewhere. This a bit new to me. But am just seeking experience of what lies ahead for a relative that is very close to me. all treatment has been cancelled (chemo) as nothing is now working. And now has 10mg Zomorph pills and also has been given 10mg Morphine Oral solution (which is not yet being taken as trying not to for the time being).
As far as I can understand. This is just pain/symptom management and now nothing to do with treating or holding back the cancer anymore? So I guess what I am saying is... Is this now where the tide now turns and its basically a waiting game before "time" ?
I know everyone is different but I have no idea or even given stats as to a ball park figure as to how long I have left with the person (am not saying him/her in case they too are on this forum). I would not want them to know to as to not add any unwanted extra mental stress as they worry already about "afterwards" when they are not present. But basically its a parent..
Thanks for any kind of help.
Thank you kindly for the reply. Apologies for late reply. Things have been eventful. In short you are correct and relative now referred over to a hospice and told cancer treatment itself they are at the end of the line now and nothing left to treat. Now on Morphine liquid and patches and paracetamol to manage pain. along with injections in the tummy every three months (to continue). Now found shadows in liver and something in lung. I am assuming any prognosis if asked for is on the low side but yet to ask oncologist :(
Thank you again
