Is there any way that a CANCER patient dies painlessly....Please tell me,it's emergency.............? |
I SEEK HELP FROM ANYBODY.....Please tell me how can the death of my grand-mother (She is now at the last stage of CANCER) be less painful or even painless.( It may sound odd, but I still hope someone has the answer鈥︹€? You need to talk to the oncology team. Her pain can be very well controlled with medication. There is no reason anymore for people dying with cancer to suffer terribly. spent with loved ones. You have to talk to the doctors about getting her good pain medication so she doesn't feel pain. No one here can give you medical advice. Morphine is administrated to cancer patient in order to reduce pain. Try morphine, but only a doctor can administer it. God bless your Granny. If she cared about all of you and your family so much more than her own health, then just be with her. Spend time with her, and talk to her. It'll take her mind off of it, and she'll be doing something that she truly loves to do-be with her family. An Oxycontin drip IV. It fortunately is good for something. She will be in and out of consciousness but she will die without or with very little pain. Im so sorry to hear about your gradmother.. Just be there for her and let her know how much she is appreciated! Tell the doctors that you expect the best care possible for her. As long as she knows that you are making efforts to make her comfortable, she will find comfort in that. My condolences on your grandmother's condition. she'll be in my prayers Sorry to hear about grandma. If she is in the hospital and she will for sure not make it--ask that she be sedated and have morphine. My husband recently died of infections stemming from chemotherapy to treat liver cancer, which started 6 years ago as pancreatic cancer. He lived in a lot of pain from various treatments but he was a tough son of a gun. Sweet as could be but that man took a lot of abuse. In the end, when the doctors said that terrible sentence (It's time to make him comfortable), I simply asked that his morphine be increased, the medicines that kept his blood pressure up be stopped and we let him go. This allowed him to go peacefuly, though he was awake despite the large doses of morphine!! It was very difficult to do this but there was no hope for him and we didn't want to see him suffer any more. Good luck with grandma, and make sure you tell her what's going on, no lies, no sugar coated stories. under most states laws it is considered inhumane to put a person out of misery, the only thing the hospitals can do is make her comfortable with sufficent pain medications. I wish the laws were different. We live in a society of freedoms, but this is one we do not have the freedom to die when we want. My mother died from pancreatic cancer when she was 59. I am sure she was in pain, but she remained proud and strong to the very end. She took us out to lunch at Taco Bell, even though she knew she would just lose her lunch right after we returned from the restaurant. She ate ice cream, even though she knew she wouldn't be able to keep that down, either. She never complained, became bitter, or depressed. All we could do for her in her last weeks with us here on this Earth was be sure her morphine drip was functioning, give her whatever she asked for (except morphine ahead of schedule), and be with her in her room. The entire family was with her when she "moved on". you can keep her on oxygen and help her with the breathing and ask the doctor to give her some medicine to help with the pain but also the best thing you can do now is just be with her and at least she will know you really care for her to the end. Our entire family was with my grandfather in his last weeks of bone cancer. Cancer patients can suffer excruciating pain. However, there are numerous methods of pain control available. Ask the hospital or doctor or nurses about having Hospice help for your family and your grandma. Our Hospice nurse was invaluable to us. She helped control my grandfather's pain, answered our questions, and comforted us in our grief. She also explained the dying process and came within the hour after my grandfather had passed away. I believe most pain control methods will probably put your grandma into a coma-type state so she will not be able to communicate with you. Our Hospice nurse said to touch and talk to my grandfather as it would comfort him and comfort us. It is a difficult thing to watch a loved one suffer. There are compassionate people who will help you through this, but sometimes you have to ask for the help from several people before getting what you need. i'm sorry. With my sister pain killers was all that would keep her compfortable. They put dauliad in her IV bag with the drip which of corse kept her knock out..but it was better that hurting as far as I am concerned;, and it would be what I would what also. They tried morphine, but it did her no good.Normally they don't put pain killers mixed in the same bag with a plain iv drip but her doctor learned then it was the best way to constantly control her pain. Contact your local Hospice. get a hold of your local chapter of hospice. they are fantasic. they're only job is make sure that the dying are comfortable. Call HOSPICE they will help your Grandma with her pain. Hospice is also for the patient family...I work for a Hospice and I cannot begin to tell you how much they can help. My thoughts are with you. I would give her heavy doses of glyconutrients. The other alternative is a slow morphine drip :( first off get hospice in , they are wonderful with pain management, spend all the time you can together the doctor should have given pain medication if you know how much she takes then medicate her yourself keep her comfortable so sorry for you and your family Visit my website and check out the testimonials |
