Hi I'm new to this and I'm sorry if I have not done this correctly. My names Mel I'm 42 I'm sole carer for my mum who has small cell lung cancer and tbh I'm terrified not got a single clue what I'm suppost to do. Mum just had second session of 5days worth of radiotherapy and has come home in absolute agony with rib pain. How do people cope with trying to sooth a patient in pain when they have no clue what to do for them?
Does she have any prescribed medication to help with the pain?
Get in touch with either the hospital that performed the radiotherapy or with her GP and discuss it, either ask for some or tell them that what she has isn't working.
