Does Usage Of Cocaine Help In Pain Management While Suffering From Throat Cancer?

Hello, my mother has throat cancer, she is in her last weeks we believe, a friend suggested cocaine for pain relief as nothing else worked anymore. Recently the tumors began to grow back, larger and more painful. It was recommended for her to combine 8 tbsp coconut oil with half tsp cocaine and use as a gargle. She was also told not to swallow this, but that s what she would need to do in order for the cocaine to numb the area of her throat she is feeling the most pain. Any input please???/
