Hello, my mum has recently been diagnosed with stage 3 Inflammatory Breast Cancer. She is 72. It has spread to local lymph nodes. She is waiting to start taking herceptin and start chemotherapy but its getting worse really quickly and It is really painful. She doesn't react well to painkillers and doesn't like taking them. Did anyone find anything that helped with the pain other than prescribed pain killers and anything that helped generally. Thanks for reading. X
Hi Norba and welcome to the online community
I can't help regarding painkillers for your mum but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you also join and post this is the main breast cancer group as it's more active than this one and I'm sure you'll get a reply there. If this is something that you'd like to do clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there where you can join and post in the same way as you did here.
It would be great if you could pop something about your mum's diagnosis and treatment in 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 '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.
