Pain
"My husband has Stage IV Tongue Cancer. He was put on fentanyl patches starting at 25 mcg &amp; was raised to 150 mcg q 72 hrs. What determines 48 hours or 72 hours the ins.? How do they know what relieves a persons pain especially one with cancer! It has been terrible watching him in such pain because the ins. won&#039;t cover the patches when necessary with the Drs. approval due to increase until pain relieving amount was reached! Any ideas what I can do??"
