I advised you to ask the doctors for prescriptions for the fentanyl patch to help him with the pain.
You have said no treatment is being done for the cancer. With that info, I would also suggest what Cheryl stated with the hospice. This is an organization which helps terminally ill patients when they are close to the end. They will manage the pain so the patient does not suffer.
