Thank you for your response.
They have changed my husband's medication now to Dilaudid 6mg 3 times a day and Oxycocet every 2 hours in between. He says this seems to be reducing some of his pain but at most times his pain is 6-8 out of 10.
We saw the oncologist on Thursday and the tumour in his lung has grown 1cm since last CT Scan 3 mos ago. He was given an option to try Chemo in the New Year which would be Taxotere every 21 days. There is hope that this will shrink things again and give him some more quality of life. I don't know anything about this drug other than he can lose his toe and finger nails. He has chose to wait until the New Year so that we can enjoy Christmas with our families. I am hopeful that this Chemo will reduce his pain. The last one did.
Thank you for responding to my message. It's good to know that people care even when they don't know you.
Very sorry to hear about your loss.
