Hi all,
I've just joined mainly to ask if anyone else is experiencing this.
My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer which has spread to his brain. He refused to take the oral morphine, and was extremely agitated getting out of bed and falling.
He is having seizures so just over a week ago gp decided to insert the syringe driver. The agitation has not stopped and is still trying to get out of bed and shouting even though the D/Nurse has upped the morphine and another drug to calm dad.
I expected he would be peaceful and not restless which is distressing for him but for us as a family too. It's like hes fighting it.
