Suggest Possible Treatments For Tumor In Pelvis.

My father in law has had bladder cancer...they cut his bladder and prostrate out but now they have found it has spread and have found a tumor in his pelvis which they have treated with radio therapy...it has shrunk but not significantly.....they have advised that chemo will only have a 30% possibility of success......basically it would seem we have run out of treatment options....he is very weak and in much pain and is on morphine...are there any other options

Hello,

The bladder cancer metastasis in his body according to provided history.

So it seems that pain could be due to bony metastasis.

The morphine is the only analgesic that will help in relieving pain.

In such metastasis of cancer, chemotherapy can be done.

Sorry but there is no other treatment option once tumour spread.

Hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further
