Hi there -
You have to get your doc to be very specific and provide you with as many options as possible for pain mgmt. If the doc seems too busy - see if they have a nurse who has more time and can discuss options for you. At this point pain mgmt is the most important thing -- is your dad currently taking treatment like chemo? If not, you might want to consider inquiring about hospice as they are specialists when it comes to pain mgmt. Best wishes to you and your dad.
