struggling

I have breast cancer stage 4 that has spread to just about  everywhere.  I am struggling to cope with  the pain.  What can I do?

  • Hello Violet girl, and thank you for posting.

    I am sorry to hear about the pain you are experiencing. As nurses, we are unable to give a medical opinion as we are not part of your care, but we would suggest you speak to your doctor.

    If you have a Macmillan or palliative care nurse, we would also urge you to talk to them as they are experts in symptom control and pain management. They will also be able to help support you in how you are feeling at this time. If you do not think you are already known by one of these teams, ask your GP or hospital team to refer you.

    We have more information on pain and cancer on our website.

    Take care, and I hope this gets sorted for you.

    If you would like to contact the nurses we are available on the phones Monday to Friday, 9-5. The number is 0808 800 4040.

    Sarah.
