I am 82 years old and I live in Thailand since 1987.

Last year during holidays in my home country (EU) a bladder cancer was detected. Since then I have undergone TURBT, cistectomy, radiotherapy but the cancer always came back and now as a last option immunotherapy will be tried.

If this does not work I would prefer to be no longer a burden for the friends where I am now staying and return to Thailand to dy in my own house.

However I do not know if in Thailand there is palliative care at home 

What do Forum members recommend?

 

Somebody i knew, stopped food and water intake, he got his wish within 3 weeks.

Oral morphine is certainly available and not necessarily expensive. Even government hospitals will prescribe it for home use in terminal situations (though not necessarily in enough dose and quantity).

 

I have never seen or heard of IV morphine drips in the home (and I know wealthy people who certainly tried). If you do, please share the details. By PM if not here.

What are details?, but a neighbor woman age 85 had pains in body. They couldnt define where it was from.

She had a mobile morphine pump. Once in a while I meet her and she tells everything, also about the morphine pump. She is tough lady and goes on and on, now about 89 !

she even had heart surgery, despite her age in late 70ties then ! As I understood (red) cant , healing proces is a worry. And sedation could be a problem, however she had. I go by what she is telling me and then Im only flabbergasted.

Cant say if she really had morphine, she just told me , she had. I have though seen the device on her, but substance injected? no clue, she tells me it was morphine.

She doesnt have the device anymore , I believe, as the morphine didnt work !?

Im not sure, have to ask her again some time.

She forces herself out of the house to walk , if possible. Sometimes good times , sometimes worse.

If she is really feeling good, she walks to the shops about 300 meter away, do little shopping and walks back !

At one time saw her walking out and I offered to walk with her. Her words:

"No, thank you, dont be slilly, I want to walk by myself and not bothering someone"

Amazing woman, tough lovely lady.
