Hi everyone I’ve recently been diagnosed with bowel cancer a secondary cancer of the liver. I’m suffering with a lot of back pain at present regular paracetamol just isn’t working but i’m worried to try anything stronger which will cause me more issues in the bowel department. Any advice?
Hi Balramsbird I would suggest getting in touch with your GP or medical team at the hospital for advice to make sure that anything you take doesn’t clash with any treatment or other medication that you’re on?
Take care
