Hello,I am in Boston, but got a call from my best friends husband---I live in Chicago---but visiting family in Boston....my best friend has terminal stage 4 Cancer....been a long battle...anyway, he left me a message stating he took Amanda (my best friend) to the hospital and have put her on the morphine drip....I cant get back to Chicago until tomorrow night....how long can someone last on the drip?  Am I even going to make it?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Morphine is opioid which is having central pain relieving action. It is used to alleviate pain in patients with terminal stage cancer. So she is mostly having severe pain due to cancer and doctor has started morphine Chat Doctor.  This is not a good sign for prognosis. She might be having less than 1-2 month. So you can definitely meet her. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your friend. Thanks.
