I don’t really know how to start… and I feel like there’s so much information I could give that might not even be necessary.
My dad (56) was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer 3 months ago. Is it normal for someone to be on this many opioids? He has a 125 mcg/hour fentanyl patch, takes 7.5 mg methadone tablets, and also receives 3 mg of subcutaneous Dilaudid a couple of times a day. Despite all that, his pain still isn’t relieved.
Of course, the pain is severe. I think it’s more related to the metastases because he has intense pain in his lower abdomen/intestines.
