Living after cancer treatment

Hi I have recently been told that my cancer has gone and my last MRI showed no signs of tumour which is the best news ever but I struggle really bad with mobility, walking very far and I am in excruciating pain. Has anyone had anything similar? My consultant isn't concerned as its just the side effects of treatment

  • I'm so pleased to hear you're cancer free Meme123 although I'm very sorry about the pain and mobility issues you're having.

    I hope you can take some reassurance from what your consultant has told you but if you're still concerned do be sure to keep them and your GP informed so that can keep an eye on this and if necessary, carry out further investigations. You could try getting a second opinion as well.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will offer their thoughts and advice to you soon but if you'd like to have a chat with one of our cancer nurses about this then do give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope things starts to improve for you soon Meme.

    All the best,
