We are pretty sure that the cancer has now spread to my dad's spine and bones. He is in a lot of pain. They now doubled his morphine dose. They said if his pain gets worse, another option would be for him to go into Cherry Meadows, which is a hospice center for acute pain. We want him to be able to stay home, but we also don't want him in any pain. So I guess we will cross that bridge if we get to it. His nurse also thinks that my dad probably has a lot of internal bleeding. He is now also passing blood clots through his iliostomy. He is down to drinking a couple sips of water and eating popsicles. I just keep praying that this nightmare ends soon. It is taking big toll on all of us emotionally and physically.
