    You should always contact your cancer team or the cancer helpline if you encounter any "quirky" or concerning symptoms. Don't just assume things are normal if you weren't warned about them or put up with these symptoms. After all, it's your health.

    I take it you were given a wee card with the helpline number? We found them to be really good. At least up here in Scotland.
