Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain Caused By Prostate Cancer

my father has end stage prostate cancer, he is now at the point where he is paralized and in severe pain. Im not happy with his pain management at the moment and have asked to be referred back to the palliative care team. his doctor says he is doing fine. How do I get around this? The end stage has been going on for approx 2 years now. My gut tells me that with the disease rapidly changing everyday, that his time is nearly up. Do you think I am right.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Treatment of end stage prostate cancer is mainly palliative. For pain relief morphine bases analgesic can be used. It is justifiable to use morphine in terminal stage cancer pain. Ultimate prognosis is poor. Life expectancy is not good. Sorry to say but it is fact.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
