Hi,

My elderly father was diagnosed with 3C lung cancer sept. 2019.

2 weeks ago he was prescribed oramorph to ease his cough (he's never smoked). Since then the deterioration in his strength is shocking. Gets out of breath just standing up - I can't imagine the cancer would cause such a rapid change in such a short time and wonder if it could be related to the oramorph. The GP says he should take it through the day as it's meant to help his breathlessness but I see the opposite unless it's coincidence . We get the results of next CT scan in next few days so will see the progression.

thank you
