Hi Everyone, 

I was just after a bit of advice if anyone can help.

Mum was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer back in Feb, she was offered chemo to prolong life and give her a bit more time but due to Covid-19 that was cancelled. Things have progressed quite quickly and I feel we are moving into a new stage. Mum has been quite bright in herself she can't do very much due to her struggle with breathing and pain. Over the past couple of days the pain has considerably increased and the medication she takes isn't doing anything (Oramorph, Zomorph and Amitriptyline) plus others. I think it is referred to as breakthrough pain at this stage. Has anyone been through anything similar? I will call our care team on Monday. It just makes me sad to see Mum in so much pain. Thank you
