There are no good web sites that I am aware of discussing end of life issues for children survivors. I would suggest speaking to the physician to have the medication strength increased as well as changing the frequency. Also may want to ask about medication such as oxyIR or oxyfast for break through pain. thank you for using oncologychannel and good luck.
