How Can Pain And Insomnia Be Managed While Suffering From Uterine Cancer?

My sister is 50 with stage 3 uterine cancer. It s aggressive and she has horrific headaches and pain in her neck. She s on morphing every 3 hours for over a month. How much more time can she withstand this pain? Will she his go to sleep? Oncologist wants to do another round of chemo.

Hello,

I think she can do another round of chemotherapy as advised by an oncologist. Also, her doctor can increase the morphine dosage to manage pains and have a better quality of life.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
