I just wondered what pain relief helped others at this stage we are waiting MDT for treatment plan x

    Hi  

    I'm very sorry to hear of your mum's diagnosis and that she is in hospital. By now your mum may have had the stent, if so I hope it's been successful. Your mum is in the best place to have her pain dealt with as if she is unable to tolerate orally, it can be given intravenously.

    I have a different cancer to your mum but by responding to your post, it will place it at the top, where it is more likely to be seen by other members. I hope matters have improved in the last few days for you both and that the MDT have a plan for treatment. Best regards,

    A x
