Severe Pain

My mother in law is seeing consultant Thursday to confirm her bowel and liver cancer diagnosis and to discuss treatment.  She feels nauseous and is in great pain and crying in pain. She is seeing a palitive nurse next Tuesday.  She has already been in pain for weeks.  How do I get anything done before next Tuesday?  Please help she is 86 and doesn't want to bother anyone.  Many thanks.  

 

  • Hello Norris

    I'm sorry to hear about your Mother in law's diagnosis and that she is struggling with pain and nausea at the moment. 

    Please do get in touch with her GP who should be able to help manage her symptoms whilst she is waiting to see the Consultant and palliative care nurse. 

    If you'd like to speak to one of our nurses for some advice then you can call them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm). 

    Best wishes,
