I am writing on behalf of my dad he is 71, this is his last week of radiotherapy and had two lots of chemo due to infection on the weeks he was supposed to. He has cancer on the back of the tongue and lymph nodes in neck & not spread anywhere else. He cannot swallow anything water or medication and is fed via his feeding Rig, with medication and water too going through it. He has a very high pain threshold but he said this pain when swallowing is the worse ever. Can I ask what pain relief worked for you or a relative? He is on morphine modified release capsule and paracetamol and liquid morphine. He is struggling and choking on saliva and phlem and is refusing to take the capsule this weekend.  They have discontinued the granules so we can't give it through the feeding Rig. Did anyone have pain patches or anything anyone can recommend we are off to hospital for appointments in the morning. It's heartbreaking to see my dad like this, it's mentally torturous seeing him so down with it all.
