Thanks David2, we are getting there. Almost at the end of week 5 and he's still getting 4 shakes down every day.

Did anyone ever suggest lactulose for you? It seems to be the next step up after senokot and colace. We're giving it a try. Every doctor seems to have their own favourite method. smile

Gordon is now on the Fentanyl 50 patches and morphine (10 mg) 1X/hr. or as needed. It seems to be helping.
