Hi i want to know whats happening as i have a friend who got cancer now in the hospital in agony, he said as if someone stabbing him near his kidney but he got all tbe tests and the doctor says all ok cant find any problem. He is asking for morphine every hour and he is in severe pain. He finished his chemo and just finished radiation but he is in agony.Is there any chance for him to survive?
It is very difficult based on your description to tell the chances of his survival. It would have helped if you had mentioned which part of the body has cancer, what is the stage and the has undergone surgery. Pain, in a cancer patient can be due to a number of reasons like disease involving nerves, side effects of surgery/chemotherapy/radiotherapy. Most of these pains can be relieved by painkillers. If not then you can proceed to stronger painkillers like morphine. There is fentanyl 25/50mcg patch available that needs to be stuck on any non-hairy part of his skin, and it will relieve his pain for 3 days.
