Dad has been started on
dexamethasone
& morphine, and the pain in his back is under better control now Dad has never smoked so hoping may be an EGFR mutation thing going on as Iressa has already been talked about.

This makes them particularly suitable for high-dose therapy in conditions where fluid retention would be a disadvantage. According
