I am terribly sorry, that another victim of these disease---is now in hospice on the final Journey. You have all the best Pain Killers being used--is the dose high enough--I would ask this. The other thing one could add might be edible THC--which can alter the way the brain feels things.

Again I am so Sorry. Prayers to God for Mercy and Grace for the whole family is prayed.

So sorry to hear! My father in law died of cancer at home in 2014. He had definitely reached the point where he was simply tired of living. If I recall correctly, hospice set up a hospital style bed in his living room (bedroom too small) with a portable commode next to the bed. Only had to be helped a very short distance when he needed to go.

As painful as that was to watch, it was his time and I'm very happy my wife was able to care for him so he could spend his final days at home.

I don't have any advice on the pain, just want you to know you have my deepest sympathies and admiration.

I'm so sorry to hear this. He may get some pain relief by resuming hormone therapy.

So very sorry for what you are going through. Sending prayers and positive energy your way.

If you can get marijuana that will definitely help. CBD helps too but probably not as much as the full plant.

Appreciate all you respondes

I'm very sorry to hear of your husband's terrible pain. Be sure and report this clearly to your hospice nurse. There's no need to withhold the morphine. He's suffered enough.

Prayers for your husband and you.

Are you located in a right to die state?

I'm so sorry, Kobina. Know that you're in many prayers. I will pray specifically for pain relief and peace for you both.

I can only imagine what you are going through seeing your husband in such a pain. I will have you both and your son in my prayers. You are not alone. A hug to you.🙏💛

Many have had good advice on pain management here. The hospice nurse should be on top of this and I would suggest having a long conversation with them about how this should be handled. Prostate cancer may indeed require supplemental ADT and/or bone strengthening meds to help. You may wnat to have a consult with his MO also.

We are all saddened by your story, as we are all too familiar with it. Take care of yourselves too. You need to keep your own health up and take breaks . I hope and pray that your husband's pain is relieved very soon and he can find some calm in the storm.

It is heartbreaking to read your story.

"has not eaten in this is day 3. I think he thinks this is the best way out."

That's sort of my plan when I reach that stage.

There are reasons to avoid cannabis (it may invigorate the growth of prostate cancer cells as a result of their extra cannabinoid receptors). But at this stage Cannabis is good for pain relief.

So sorry to hear about your Dad's pain. I am also in hospice care, focusing on pain control. It looks like your pain control team has access to an arsenal of pain drugs.

I recently had methadone added to the mix of pain control drugs and found it quite effective for baseline pain, with morphine reserved for higher breakthrough pains. The advantage of methadone, for me, is that methadone provides strong pain relief without suppressing cognition and mental alertness the way morphine does.

The downside of methadone is that it may take several days to establish a blood concentration for optimal pain control.

Something to discuss with your Dad's hospice pain control team.

Best wishes, Jim in Boston

Sorry to hear about this, my husband also has bone pain, so I can relate to your despair. A big hug to you.

It pains me to read this post. I'm so sorry. I would ask that they up his morphine or dilauted to the point he's almost in a coma. Sounds like now that he's stopped eating, he in his last days. Comfort is the most important thing right now.

Praying for your family. 💕

Oh my, sounds like a terrible way to go. Have you thought about hospice care. God bless you both and give you strength to carry on 🙏🙏🙏😜

My heart goes out to you guys. I'm only 7 months in from diagnosis, just finished Chemo 2 weeks ago and still not able to get the pain under control. I found a CBD source and hope this will help me. It's a little concerning for me that only a limited improvement (40%) in pain level.

I can confirm the bone pain is very difficult.

God bless you and your family.

Strongly recommend 100+ mg CBD drops daily, dosed every 6 hrs or less. About 30mg THC daily and likely more in his case.

Will reduce some pain and help sleep in addition to the opiates. Ask doc, usually OK with addition. Anecdotally it's helped myself and 3 close friends quite a bit.

I’m so sorry. It hurts to read this.

This is so hard on everyone. Holding space for one who is dying and trying to keep them at home where they might die with dignity and peace is one of the hardest things we will do. Your hospice team should be able to help. We are in the beginning stages of a similar experience. You are not alone, and at the same time may feel very alone. A hospital bed, in-home health care aide to assist with toileting and hygiene, stronger drugs and anyone close to you that can give you a break to step away for a bit might help. Love and peace to you and your family. My heart breaks for you and for all walking this path.

Remember God is on his and your side. Bless you both...

I' m very sorry to hear of your father' s situation and I pray for strength and peace.

I am just so, so sorry to hear this. Home hospice is fine, and we would all wish to be at home in our comfortable bed. Having seen what my wife's brother went through when their mother was on home hospice, if hubby is willing, you may want to consider out of home hospice. He wouldn't have to get up to go to the bathroom. They can manage the pain on the spot. I have instructed my relatives not to attempt home hospice. Whatever you choose, their is no guilt. Others have a different opinion. May God bless.

Thank god that your son is home to help.. Many prayers🙏

My heart goes out to you and your family

We hold you tight in our prayers

My heart breaks for you. I can’t even offer advice as this is still too close to my heart. Prayers to you and your hubby...please ask for higher dosages of pain meds....for his sake. 🙏

Love to you

Sheri ❤️
