Hi Mal and a warm welcome to our forum, 

Poor you dealing with 3 different types of cancer! You seem to have a great mindset in trying to keep positive as much as you can but it's not easy sometimes to keep positive when suffering or feeling a lot of pain and that's why it is so important to get your pain under control and get adequate pain relief. 

We have useful information on our website on treating cancer pain including on types of painkillers as well as other things you can do to reduce cancer pain. If you would like to chat to one of our cancer nurses about this, don't hesitate to give them a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

I hope that you will also hear from the experiences of others and that they will come and share with you what worked best for them to alleviate their pain. What worked for others might not work for you though even if it's interesting to get the insights of others. It's important to talk to your medical team about how best to manage this pain especially given the fact that you have been dealing with 3 different types of cancer so do mention to your specialist or doctor that you have been struggling with these varying levels of pain and that you would like their advice on how best to manage it. 

I hope you find a good solution to this so that you can be as pain free as possible. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
