My Nan found out last year she’s had anal cancer, on Oct 2019 we found out she’s has lung cancer and is now terminal. They had stopped her chemo now, but all off sudden she’s has really bad leg pain can’t walk it like pin and needles?? any advice?

  • Hi and welcome to the online community

    I'm very sorry to hear that your nan has been diagnosed with anal and lung cancer. It must be very hard for the whole family right now.

    I can't help with your question but noticed that you hadn't had any response yet. I'm not sure from your post if your nan's lung cancer is a separate cancer to the anal cancer or a secondary. If it's a new primary cancer then you might find that the people in the lung cancer group can help with your question and, if it's secondary cancer, then the folks over in the secondary lung cancer group may be best placed to answer. To join either of these groups just click on the appropriate link.

    Have you told your nan's CNS about the pins and needles she's experiencing? If not give her a call to see what she advises. If her symptoms get worse or you're worried about your nan then you can give NHS 111 a call and they'll be to advise you.

    When you feel up to it, it would be useful if could pop something about your nan's journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
