Hello,
I'm new here. My dad has just gone into hospice, he has bowel cancer which has spread to spine. He is in so much pain as the tumour is on his lower spine and growing into the muscles. He has been in hospital for three weeks prior to his hospice move due to shingles and sepsis. He is in too much pain for the palliative radiotherapy he was supposed to have - he couldn't even lie on the table on the planning day. He is crawling the walls with pain sometimes saying he wants to die and can't take any more. He is already on a fentanyl patch, diamorphine, a muscle relaxant and a syringe pump with morphine. I have heard there are anaesthetic injections and nerve blockers he could have? If anyone has any advice, I would be so grateful. Many thanks.
