My brother has just been fitted a morphine driver, he has small cell lung cancer which has now spread to his brain, he is becoming increasingly agitated (meds given to calm) but still waiting for a hospice bed since Thursday. How long can a patient live once they start on the morphine driver? We are struggling to see him in obvious pain
Hi, Extremely sorry to hear about your brothers condition, Patient may live long even with morphine but brain metastasis to be taken care of, His present symptoms are due to brain Mets, palliative radiotherapy to brain and corticosteroid will be helpful to consult your doctor.
