I'm sorry to hear you are in pain. I have this conversation frequently with people I care for. I don't know when you will die; no one can predict that. If you haven't seen hospice, then you should because if possible I think no one should die in pain. Pain relief provides some peace and makes living with a terminal illness (and even dying from it) easier physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Sometimes radiation can help decrease the need for pain killers, but sometimes only pain medications are available and they come with their own set of side effects. The focus of hospice is pain relief; and sometimes your oncologist doesn't hear the same needs you have for pain relief or comfort.
My thoughts and prayers are with you; I hope you can find the comfort and peace you seek.

As people are dying, they hopefully achieve a certain kind of deep grace. Then, it's a simple letting go . . . of life. If you do not have hospice, please consider asking your physician for a referral as soon as possible. You should not be in pain. Hospice personnel are highly trained in palliative care that will let you live more comfortably. Your pain meds need to be re-evaluated and adjusted. Something is wrong with them, OK? While you are locked up in pain, you cannot come to grace. Once you are comfortable, there will be time for grace. And, in that more peaceful place, you'll be ready to let go. Promise. Call your physician and request hospice immediately, and stop suffering.

Five hundred years ago, people said the world was flat. Today, people say that if the FDA and AMA haven't blessed something, it can't be real good. Well, here's something I know to be real AND good. It's a little different take on cancer treatment--
In 1990, I had Hodgkin's Lymphoma, stage 3-B, but I've survived. My doctors were great people, but they were limited to surgery, chemo and radiation by profitable AMA treatment policy. During the year in treatment, I started learning about alternative medicine. I'm a retired engineer, and this is what I've pieced together--our IMMUNE SYSTEMS become weakened by poor nutrition, lack of exercise and reduced oxygen. Once that happens, our body becomes vulnerable to common STRESSORS. Stressors can be environmental, like viruses, heavy metals, pesticides, food additives, electromagnetic waves or pollution. They can be internal things like emotional or job stress, or poisonous people in our lives. Aging is also a contributing factor. So this means:
WEAK IMMUNE SYSTEM + STRESSORS = DISEASE (cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc.)
Our bodies have 60 trillion--yes, trillion--cells, and there are always some mutating into cancer cells, but a healthy immune system kills them before they have a chance to get a foothold in the body.
It takes a LONG time, usually, or a high level of stressors, to weaken the immune system to the point where it won't do its job, but once cancer has formed, it will generally spread rapidly.
THIS IS IMPORTANT! There are ways to BEAT cancer that are currently being used in Europe and around the world, and there are some great books on the subject. I know because I've read about 50 of them from cover to cover. Here's a list of the best ones. Some are out of print and getting hard to find--
"The Cure for All Cancers", ISBN 0963632825
"The Cure for All Advanced Cancers", ISBN 1890035165
"A Cancer Therapy", ISBN 0882681052
"Oxygen Therapies", ISBN 0962052701
"Hydrogen Peroxide--Medical Miracle", ISBN 1885236077
"The Natural Cure for Cancer--Germanium", ISBN 0533071410
"Killing Cancer", ISBN 0705000966
"Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About", ISBN 0975599518
I know of people whose cancer has 'spontaneously remitted' (WENT AWAY for no known reason) AFTER they went on programs of herbs and nutrition to restart their immune systems.
You and your family must look out for yourselves to stand a chance of being healthy. This is not a joke, and I'm not selling anything--just trying to help.
I am using the things I learned in those books right now to fight off a second infestation of cancer. I've been at it for over a year now, and think I'm going to make it. Use what works for you, and pass on your success. Best of luck.
AMA AND FDA--
The American Medical Association (AMA) and the pharmaceutical companies control medical law and the FDA in this country with heavy lobbying and a revolving door policy. WHY would they want to do this? It's about the money. In 2006, medicine (doctors, hospitals, researchers and pharmaceutical firms) received 2.1 TRILLION dollars--15% of the total earnings (GNP 13.7 trillion) in the U.S. This is astounding! It means MILLIONS of people worked the whole year just to pay the nation's medical expenses!! That's totally astounding, and just too big to care about individuals.

I am so so sorry to hear about your disease and your pain. If the medicine is not working, speak to the doctor and see if there is something else they can do to ease your pain some. It is impossible to say when you will die....only the good Lord knows that.....but I wish you peace and hope that your pain and suffering can be eased....I will say a prayer...

No one knows when they're going to die. One of the mysteries of life.. I watched my Pop die for 2 years.. But one of my best friends only had 2 weeks with her Pop.. And some come out of it the other side stronger and better than before..
I don't know the answer to your question. I'm not sure anyone can help you.
In my prayers..
