    Hey there you are not a nuisance you are searching for answers and thats good self care stratergy! 

    Re pain ....i think talk to one of the cancer nurses on this help site would be a good plan amd or your gp....pain is not a have to put up with .....ask for help asap

    Accidents at night time ....can you try using pads or pants at night time ? No need to feel embarrassed its a practical solution and saves a lot of having to change night clothes bedding etc .....they are readily available ( supermarket or amazon can deliver )

    I think a referral to your district nurses would be good step ....Sending you strength
