Stomach cramps

My husband is 60 and has been diagnosed with melanoma, his treatment does not start until 14th August, however he’s on painkillers from his Dr, he is suffering badly with wind accompanied with a lot of pain, does anyone have any help for this? 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Shar59.

    I'm sorry to read that your husband has been diagnosed with melanoma and that he is currently suffering badly from wind and pain despite being on painkillers.

    The wind could possibly be a side effect from the painkillers so if it is proving to be quite troublesome and the painkillers are not working do get back in touch with his doctor to let him them know as they may be able to provide an alternative as well as some advice on how to manage your husband's wind.

    Wishing your husband all the best for the start of his treatment on 14th August.

    Kind regards,
