I was diagnosed with incurable breast cancer in November last year, almost 11 years after my primary diagnosis. After 2 cycles of the gold standard Chemo during which I was really poorly with seriously low white blood cell counts and struggled to stay hydrated through diarrhea and vomiting, I had a CT scan only to be told the cancer continues to spread. I decided to stop treatment and enjoy life with my family and friends instead. I am on morphine which makes enjoying life possible. I have tumours in my spine, shoulder, sternum, chest wall tissue and muscles; lesion on my liver and nodule on my lung.
For the last 3 weeks I have been waking in the night with painful hands, they remain like it when I wake and wear off slowly through the morning. Has anyone else experienced similar. I recently had to increase my slow release morphine dosage after taking Oramorph for breakthrough pain regualrly for 2 weeks. Could this be connected to it?
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
