As a family we are struggling to know what to do. My Dad aged 88 has advanced Prostate cancer which has now progressed to his bones (rib, shoulder and pelvic region) He has recently undergone a one off blast of radiotherapy to try to ease the pain. All other treatment has stopped and he is receiving palliative care. His pain treatment currently consists of Codeine and ibuprofen, however he is still struggling with a lot of pain and discomfort. He has previously been prescribed oralmorph and patches but unfortunately has had a bad reaction when taking it. His appetite is also very poor. We would be grateful for any advice to help ease the situation as it is so upsetting for my elderly mother and the rest of the family to see him like this. We just don't know what to do.
