  • 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 you're experiencing a burning sensation along with pins and needles in your thigh since your recent operation. If you haven't already spoken to your cancer nurse specialist (CNS), sometimes referred to as a keyworker or Macmillan nurse, it would probably be a good idea to give them a call and explain the problem. As it's a bank holiday, you may need to call NHS111 if you can't get through to your CNS, as there's always the risk that you could have an infection.

    It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far 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'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
