Hi, my Nan got diagnosed on 03/04/24 with stage 4 lung cancer in both lungs spread to liver, pancreas abdomen and surrounds. She is 84 with copd and when we were at the hospital 2 weeks ago the oncologist told us she probably has weeks not months left. Questions are- she’s struggling with controlling the pain at the minute 2.5mg oral morphine every 4 hours, 50mg tramadol every 4 hours and paracetamol every 4 hours. Would you say she needs to get district nurses back to up dosage as last week they said they’d be back in 4 weeks but she seems to have deteriorated this week?
she is struggling to eat anything, no more than half a slice of toast in a day? Is there any recommendations if we should be trying to get her to eat more?
abd her feet have started to swell?
she’s saying she doesn’t want the nurses out but should we be calling them?
thanks in advance
worried grandaughter here xx
