Pain relief

Hi, I think I scared a few people from replying to my earlier post. I'm having Oramorph and liquid paracetamol to help with the pain of oesophagus cancer. I'm just finding that it's wearing off sooner and sooner and I'm afraid of overdosing. I've got my first meeting with the consultant on weds 21st and I just wondered if the wait and the added stress adds to the pain? I'm really scared and dont know what to do. If anyone has any advice I'd be so grateful. Nick. 

  • Hi Nick,

    I noted you haven't received any replies to your post just yet so I wanted to send a reply as this will mean a few more people should see it, and hopefully you'll get some replies soon. You mention you have an appointment coming up and it's good to hear that it's not too far away now. If prior to that you feel you'd like to talk things through with someone, you are welcome to give our nurses a call. You can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

    Wishing you all the best,
