Hi
I have Stage 4 lung cancer and am no longer on treatment as I had a reaction to the immunotherapy. I'm being monitored every 3 months. I've been doing fine, however I have recently had a pain in my upper shoulder spreading up.my neck and into my head. Tge pain is painful and the oainkillers don't seem to help. Today I have developed a pain in my lower back and into the groin area, which makes it painful to get up and walk.
Does anyone know what this could be? or has anyone had this symptom?
Kind regards
Willow23
Hi Willow23 I am sorry to hear you are in pain. Have you spoken to anyone in your medical team about this, there are lots of different pain meds that you could try.
I have about my head, I had a ct scan and they said everything was OK. But the pain is still there. I have messaged my cancer team and am awaiting a reply. I just wondered if anyone else had this.
