Welcome to the Cancer Chat forum Jim although I'm sorry for the reason you've joined us.
Unfortunately we can't answer that question I'm afraid but you may be to find this out from his medical/care team so be sure to have a chat with them about this when you can.
In the meantime I hope this information I've found about syringe drivers will help give a better understanding of what they do but if you'd like to talk things through with someone our cancer nurses are just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
