[|Human|] My best friend has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer which seems to have metastisied to his lungs and other organs.  He is having chemotherapy and has been prescribed liquid morphine.   Is there anything ese we can do to ease his pain?  He has deteriorated very fast in the last two weeks from being totaly mobile to us having to hold him up when he walks.   He seems to have accepted the inevitable but Iw ould dearly love to see him more comfortable.At what stage do we get him to a hospice?
[|AI|]  Hello, I feel sorry for the plight of your friend. Basically there are two main treatments for severe pain resulting from pancreatic cancer with metastasis. First is narcotic analgesics which you are already giving in form of liquid morphine.2nd is celiac plexus block by 50-100 alcohol solution or phenol and gives very good pain relief for 3-4 months time. As far as going to the hospital is concerned, only supportive treatment can be given. You should discuss both (pain management and admission in hospital) with his treating doctor. Best of luckThanks
