Hi everyone I am new to this site and have been reading a lot of past posts. Its 5am and I can't sleep for wanting answers.  My husband has stage 4 colon cancer with mets to lungs, adrenal gland and now spine and hip bone. He is in immense pain and can only find relief while laying down, so he is pretty much staying in bed.  He is currently on a morphine pump with a dose of 35mg/hr but when the pain hits(usually due to a change in positions) I can supplement his dose up to an additional 50 mg.  He is in hospice care in the home and I am his primary caregiver. His goal is to at least be able to sit if not walk pain free. The doctor wants to radiate the tumors on his spine and hip to try and shrink the tumors any advise on other treatments or better pain medicine than morphine. Just getting him to treatments causes severe pain.
