hi my father has a stage 4 metastatic cholangiocarcinoma . as of now he s in so much pain and morphine doesn t seem to work to relieve the pain. Its very hard to see him in so much pain. what else can we do? He s 74 yrs old and was diagnosed with the dx only 2 months ago. The Dr says he has a very poor prognosis and did not provide any treatment options except pain management. should we still consult an oncologist at this stage?
Delivery sorry to learn about stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma, but the fact of matter is that it is too late for any oncologist to do anything. Your father requires very good emotional care along with the pain management. Take good care of him in his last days as the prognosis seems to be very bad. Thanks
