My nan has cancer of the lungs and bones

my nan has cancer of the lungs and bones she has refused any treatment as they say it won’t do much to help anyway so she’s back at home with four carers coming in and I have come down from Yorkshire to help look after her as she had a stroke and this is how they found the cancer , I sometimes feel helpless as I can see her in pain but she won’t take the morphine she’s trying to just carry on with paracetamol is there anyway I can help her 

  • Hi there Kaz...

    So sorry to hear your nan's diagnosis .. but I can understand her trying to do the best she can ,  to stay as normal as possible for as long as possible. . But there are some good pain relief out there .. and she will need it more as time goes on ... all you can do right now is support her, but let her know when she needs something you will help her through it ..

    If I was you I'd give mcmillan a ring on their free phone number ... they are there for everyone effected by it ... they may be able to come out and chat to your nan about her pain ... it will make it easier for her if she does ask for help, but it has to be her decision. . But it may help you talking to some one .. as people that care about us with cancer can find it a hard road to walk down ..

    There's always someone here to listen if you want to ask, or just chat about feelings ... so sending you a big hug ... Chrissie x
