Gary and Lorie,

Thanks for replying. It's a bad situation thats for sure. The possibility of someone moving in with her isn't there. I am the only person close by enough to look after her and I have 3 kids at home, the oldest being 13 and the youngest 5, so I cannot stay with her. She will come to stay here when she is ready, her room is ready but I can't drag her here. But she has come to the conclusion that she won't be going home this week!
Before the peg she was on a slow release morphine pill and another for breakthrough. The doc in the hospital prescribed the liquid because of the peg but it isn't going to work. She doesn't have a clue as to when to take it. We are seeing her oncologist on wednesday and I will be requesting the patch. Her breakthrough is strange. You said Gary that it usually occurs because of some activity. She isn't taking anything by mouth at all and she isn't even talking much but she has a tumour (in-operable) in her cheek area that is creeping down her neck and she gets the most severe pain in it. She uses a hot compress on it, thats pretty much the only relief she gets.
As for the bile, I will be talking to her doc hopefully tomorrow, or someone at the hospital, its a long weekend here. Again, thankyou for the help.

Karen
