Hello I am new here and so so scared. I have just been diagnosed after about two months of tests and have been in so much pain. My GP has prescribed lots of morphine and just keeps telling me to increase the dose. This is done on the phone. I have seen no one yet apart from the people doing the scans etc and really don’t know who I should ask about this. I understand that I may receive an oncology appt for Tuesday so do I receive more information face to face then. Does the pain ease once I start treatment? Sorry to be a pain myself but don’t see any mention of pain on the forums and I a m beginning to think this is all in my head. How on Earth do people cope with being told yes you have cancer now go home and wait till someone gets in touch - it’s just so hard. I know you have all been there too so thanks for reading my wingeing post xx
Hi Tubs, welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here. It is good you have an oncology appointment on Tuesday, as they are the specialists, and will be able to give you more advice. This is also when you will be allocated a lung nurse, as John m.m has mentioned. They will be your go to, and they really are a great support.
Please let us know how you get on x
