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 Regards, Dr. Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
