Hello there, I was wondering if you could answer this question for me. A friend of mine has a sister whom has terminal cancer and don t know how much longer she will last. Apparently she had a puck inserted into her abdomen for pain and the medication is dilaudid, not quite sure of the spelling on that. My friend, her brother said that she was still having pain so he said that he gave her his prescription of 15mg oxycodone (percocet}, so I guess I m asking if that is the wrong thing to do and can this harm her? I was under the assumption that this was a free of charge, one time question. I assume that I won t see an answer to my question, however, I will alert her family and they can speak to her doctor, as I don t want any harm to come to her, after all she is enduring to begin with.
