Sometimes you wish

Hi I'm Liam and dying of Tongue cancer and sometimes you wish like right now when the pain is exploding in my mouth and inside my head, no matter how many pain killers or morphine I can handle, sometime I wish I had somebody's hand to hold and just cry.

  • Liam my heart goes out to you ,it really does ,I can only imagine how you are and I know I'd be way off the mark ,I really hope you get some relief surely there's something someone can do for you ,nobody should suffer like you are in this day and age no matter the reason ,as soon as I read this just now my first reaction was to not skip past this because its heartbreaking ,my second reaction was to say a little prayer for you because that's the way I live ,keep reaching out to whoever is in charge of your care Liam they are there to make sure you have adequate pain relief whether it be day or night ,don't suffer in silence ,thinking of you ..x

  • Hello Liam

    You can be sure that the 24 hours a day pain that cancer can bring will reduce the hardiest of people to tears. If you have no one to support you through this what an extra burden for you to bear. Try giving the Nurse Helpline here a call 0808 800 4040 they may have some useful suggestions

  • Thanks Ed, all good, I was having a moment that I would honestly have paid 10,000 to just have 20 minutes of pain free existence. Can't lie it got me but we all move on stronger inside and also upping every single medication that you know they will give you as they stare into your homicidally red eyes and say "no problem Liam that will be ready for you today"   Happy days.   Take care.

  • Im so relieved that your pain has been brought under control. I've had a couple of relatively pain free days. But find myself having moments of ouch today. People without experience of cancer often  have little idea of just how excruiciating the pain can be. Or how strong painkillers can affect your wellbeing and interaction with others. Yes happy days Liam and many more of them.
