  • Hi Trina85, and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm so sorry to hear about the pain you've been contending with since your kidney removal 7 years ago, and how much it has affected your life. I can't begin to imagine how difficult this has been to live with.

    I'm not sure from your post if you have spoken to your GP or medical team about this lately but if not, do let them know how much of an impact this is having and see if there is anything else that can be done to help make this pain more bearable.

    We do have some general information about treating cancer pain and difficulty sleeping on our website but if it would help to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to help.

    Hopefully some of our members will be along soon to offer their thoughts and advice, but in the meantime we're sending you all our strength and support.

    Do keep posting if you find it helps Trina85, and remember that we will always be here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
