Durogesic
And not duragesic.
We gave father a stronger dose as we all interpret fathers’ face as being in pain. Father asked for drops, and the only drops he ever took are the Contramal drops.
Fathers’ pain medication went from Durogesic patch 25microgram/h to 50. No patch from 37.5: kind of all or nothing this pain medication…
Let’s see what tomorrow brings for fathers’ secondary liver cancer. Today was a day of sleep, just sleep.
On top of that fathers’ swallowing doesn’t function well, so from time to time some saliva must enter his airways… a lot of coughing at night and coughing when drinking.
As if cancer on its own is not bad enough… All these side-effects are a real torture as well.
Advanced Liver Cancer
The following are side-effects father has because of his advanced liver cancer treatment stage.
- breathing in saliva in stead of swallowing
- sleeping and being tired
- bad liver functions playing tricks with the brain
- swollen feet

1 - 2 - 3 SLEEP!…
Sleep deprivation
Finally we convinced mom to take a sleeping pill. For those who raised kids: sleep deprivation when baby cries is manageable when:
you are 20something or 30something
sooner or later the baby will be a silent toddler
Yet moms sleep …
That is terribly sad. There is a place in this world for euthanasia.
Best wishes to you.
@Required
Euthanasia is not allowed in certain states and countries.
And even when it is allowed or practised without anybody’s knowledge: it’s still not easy to say:
“ok: now this will be your last second on this world…”
On the other hand: animals that suffer are shot down without any hesitation…
