At last some help for my pain

Hi, Ive posted before but... 

I'm a bit of an unconventional case and everything seems to be happening back to front for me but I'm going with the flow.

With a diagnosis of cancer of unknown primary and in a lot of pain from lymph nodes growing at speed, pressing on my shoulder and arm nerves, my macmillan nurse put our local hospice In touch as they have a wonderful Dr who deals with pain. She's visited at home (I've been bed bound for 5 weeks) and has now suggested I go into the hospice for a few days physio and pain relief to build me up and make me strong enough to start chemo in Jan. Of course I've jumped at the chance metaphorically speaking. I just wondered if anyone else has been in this position before even the first oncology appointment.

Happy new year to all xx
