My father died of prostate cancer. His last few days he was on an extreme amount of narcotics to help with the pain, but they also resulted in him being out of it, barely able to even able to talk to anyone.

He had an incredible pain tolerance. He had all of his back teeth, ground down and crowned without novocaine. Would come home and eat dinner with us every night after having that done. Prostate cancer pain is intolerable near the end. You don’t want to go there.

Exactly….as a retired dentist I remember a Viet Nam vet who said that his torture at the hands of the Viet Cong was nothing compared to the pain of the dental drill. And if your father could tolerate THAT kind of pain then his cancer pain must have been off the charts. A terrible thing for him to bear and for you to see.
