Is dieing from melanoma cancer a painful death?

It depends on the parts of the body it spread to. There are different drugs that can be used to manage pain and this person should work with their oncologist on this if and when it should happen. They may also want to look into hospice as they will work with the doctor when the patient isn’t up to it and help them and their family through this transition. Losing your ability to live is the definition of dieing. They will have a loss of energy and sleep more. They will eat and drink less. It is a process our bodies go through.

I was 10 when my father was dying with it back in 92 but I do remember his cries, his pain was trying to be managed and for the most part it was.. but then it got so bad that he couldn't lay in a bed he had to sit in a chair with his head on one of those trays that you eat on at the hospital..and a pillow..ugh its horrible to recall these things as I was a child, but I remember his hurting so badly and begging to die, and also the nurses told us that his bones were literally just being ate by the cancer..he suffered I won't lie, thought I think maybe in this newer age there is an easier way to make them more comfortable but I am not sure.Hospice was there for my dad every single day and closer to the end they were there 24 hrs a day, he got in so much pain towards the end that they had to feed him liquid medication under his tongue because he hadn't been able to consume much else than popscicles and water but Hospice is a good thing if they are at home, your hospital can set that up..whatever happeneds it won't be easy, and its quite painful yourself to watch someone you love that is so close to you slip away. dad was diagnosed in January and died in July...I hope this helped you a small bit, though I know its not easy to hear.

I had a loved one diagnosed in January and died in July of cancer. Chemo, pills, and radiation did nothing. I was diagnosed in June and had surgery which bought me some time. I do not want to go through chemo at all. I would rather live what life I have left and go be with the Lord.

Do not worry ,case of 1992 is not a guide

-View things in different way ,that is how to handle cancer

-All deaths are equally painfull/not painfull ,to udnderstand that you have to study whatis death ,then you will not fear about death

-Actually most pains (back bain of 1992)is due to lack of handling methods ,not due to cancer )
