I will check in with medical staff but wondered if anyone had any generic views. Relative has advanced cancer and is currently being cared for at home. They have an anticipatory package in place. Currently on cycle of drugs during day but increasingly sleeping more. Should They be woken for drug (this disturbs them and not easy to take tablets quickly) or should sleep take priority and miss one of the drug rounds. As I said will take medical advice but I wondered if a common dilemma..

Thanks
