Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My grandmother broke her hip bone and we discovered that she has bone cancer, the cancer has spread and she now has a lump on her throat. She can t sit up because her waist is painful. We are now looking for something to ease the pain as she is now unable to eat because of the lump, can morphine help with the pian.
As per your description it seems that she is having tumor which has spread to multiple sites. At this stage surgery is not possible and we have only palliative treatment left. You can try analgesics like morphine or oxycodone for pain relief. You can also plan for palliative chemotherapy and radiation which will help for pain relief. If she could not swallow food, you can plan for nasogastric tube insertion. Consult an oncologist and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
