  • Hello tigercub,

    I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling poorly.

    You mentioned you were going to the hospital yesterday. How did it go? I hope they offered you some relief from the pain you have been feeling.

    Also, there is some information on our website I wanted to share with you about cancer-related pain and I hope you will find it some use in it. Additionally, please remember you can call our cancer nurses if you feel like they might be able to help. Their lines are open Monday - Friday between 9 a.m - 5 p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    Warm wishes,
