Radiotherapy on ovary

Capri
Offline

I had 5 sessions of RT last week for a tumour on my left ovary. I now have significant pain around my right lower back ( I have renal cancer). Should I expect this or speak to an oncology nurse?

Was walking quite a lot before and after treatment. Now struggling over very short distances.

Thank you.

  • Hi Capri and thank you for contacting us.

    I am afraid I do not know why you are getting this pain.

    I think it is always good to discuss all changes with your team so they know what you are feeling. They will then decide if things need investigating further.

    Take care and I hope you know more about what is going on for you soon.

    You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9 am till 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

    Sarah.
