Hello,
I am new to this board. My father is 57 with stage IV PC with mets to liver. First diagnosis was 2/07. Recently my father is not doing well as his tumar markers are sky high. He is on Fentnl patches 100 mcg and Ms Contin 120 mg every 8 hours. He is still experiencing pain from time to time. When I bring up the issue of pain with the oncologist he just tells me to take more MS Contin (time release) as long as it is not sooner than every 8 hours or double his patches. I am afraid my father will overdose. Can anyone tell me if what he is on now is extremely high?
He also has started a new treatment of Alimta. Does anyone have experience with that?
