3 months ago my dad had emergency surgery to remove a huge cancer in his colon. They also removed his entire colon leaving him with an ileostomy bag. He found out that the cancer had spread to the peritoneum and that there is no cure or treatment, just palliative chemo. Last week he was rushed back in with kidney failure. This is now sorted but he’s taking strong paracetamol and oral morphine for the pain he’s getting in his stomach. He just says that it hurts and that it must be from the surgery. 

Coukd it be pain from his cancer? He’s so useless and just keeps taking pain killers! I don’t know how to help him. 

Many thanks,
