    Try not to worry.too much Maggie I'm not on any treatment now

     Although I did have radiotherapy and chemotherapy then 8 infusions of immunatheray which did damage to my good lung so I had to stop which I agreed with because I had to stay on 70mg of steroids a day for

    6 weeks I have pain some.days but at least I'm not as breathless now I can get out now I'm the same as you scans every 3 month keeping a eye out for changes I suppose I just wait for them to tell me but fingers crossed not yetxxxx

  • Maggie,

    It doesn’t have to be on the list to get in touch with someone if it’s bothering you. We’re all frightened to mention things but the reality is if there’s a problem it needs to be sorted now while it can be sorted rather than leaving it until it’s a big problem. As you say it might be lying on one side, it might be wind, it could be many things but if you’re worried go and see the doctor. When did you take your steroid, you should take them early morning, if you take them later in the day you don’t sleep well. Don’t make yourself poorly worrying, maybe see the doctor or the oncologist.

    Hi, I wanted to answer as my dad is in pain also, it’s his right side. He can’t seem to get comfy when sitting or laying down. We have been told the only option is radical radiotherapy, which starts on the 16th, that’s after a 3 week wait from seeing the oncologist. What really scares me is how quickly my dad seems to be declining, each day makes a big difference.

    Also he seems very down/depressed, not like my dad at allCry, I suppose this is to be expected, everyone’s emotions are all over the place. We are trying to keep him upbeat and talking about all of the things we will be doing once he’s had his treatment.
