Hi all. Hope everyone is well.
Looking for advice. My dad has been diagnosed with a 5 cm adenocarcinoma in the right lung. We’ve gone for the PET and MRI of the brain and hoping for good results tomorrow. Prior to this the pulmonary doc is staging it as a 3.
Other than all the usual worry my biggest concern is the pain my dad is having. The tumour is invading the chest wall.
We meet with rad and med onc at the Juravinski this week.
Besides the long acting and short acting hydromorphone - is there anything else I can suggest?? Nerve block? Cannabis products? At this point he will try anything
Coughing and shortness of breath are terrible as well
Thanks for reading
