Hi my mam has recently found out she has lung cancer we thought she just had a chest infection turns out to be a tumour that is too big to be removed she’s had 4 sessions of radiotherapy as she didn’t want chemotherapy! She’s in a lot of pain of the radiation across her back she’s not eating much totally lost her appetite. Anyone also experienced this how long will the pain last. Doctor has gave her morphine in a liquid. 

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I'm sorry to read that your mam is in pain following her radiation treatment. Has she contacted the radiotherapy unit to advise them of this?

    While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your mam's diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'.
