  • Hello [@Alfiehudson]‍ 

    I'm sorry to hear that your Mum has become so unwell over the past few weeks.

    It sounds positive that her tests have all come back with no cause for concern in connection to her cancer but obviously this doesn't help in the here and now. 
    Has Mum seen her GP or another health professional since her discharge from hospital? If not then it would be a good idea to contact her GP regarding her continued pain and lack of appetite. It may be that they're able to reassess or adjust any medication she is taking to help manage her pain. 

    If you'd like to chat things through with one of our nurses then you can call them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm). 

    Best wishes,
