lung cancer that has spread to spine

Hi Blue Magnolia

I am sorry to hear your sister in law is struggling.

You can speak to Macmillan about her and any concerns. If you hasn't given permission they will not be able to discuss her specific case with you as you say. But you are allowed to discuss practical support and relay any concerns you have to them. I hope that makes sense and is helpful.

I am SO sorry for your sister in laws pain.  I’m recovering from Stage 4 Lymphoma, which caused a rather large tumor in my spine (which split open two of my vertebrae)

My back pain is at times intense.  Recently I purchased a cheap TENS unit from Amazon, it was $25, and the pain relief is REAL.  Perhaps this might help relieve some of her back symptoms?

Here’s hoping this will help her deal with the extreme pain.

thank you for your reply x i will tell her ,anything to help her pain has to be worth trying .I hope all goes well for you x kind regards

Hi Blue Magnolia

Please can I suggest that you check with her team that you can use a TENs machine?

I have been told absolutely no massages as this can aggravate the cancer and encourage it to move about. I have seen some people say that disclaimers say that TENs machine in the fine print are not always recommended for people with cancer. They can be very expensive, so please check before you buy. 

thank you so. much for the info x i will pass it on

kind regards
