What are your tips for managing pain (bone mets & ADT)?

@kerryfr, I recommend that you ask the urologist for a referral to a palliative care physician or pain management specialist who works with cancer patients. Typically palliative care physicians on staff at the cancer center are the pain management experts and can help find ways to keep your husband comfortable.
Have you even discussed palliative care options with his cancer team?

@colleenyoung Oh thanks! We did see our MO this week and he provided a prescription for Dilaudid which is helping a lot. (Not ideal, but neither is being in pain.). At our clinic, at Stage 4, all management is palliative. His MRI showed a "superscan" so we're up against something pretty big here.
