    Hello   

    I'm so sorry that you are both in this situation......we're the same in our house.  Important that you let the GP or hospice know that the pain is not under control . My hubby is now on Fentanyl patches from the GP. The patches give 72 hours morphine cover and you can still top up with Oramorph for breakthrough pain . Hope you can both get some relief
