Hi all... My partners back pain turned out to be reffered pain from cancer... He is really sick as in vomitting loss of appitite but this has only occured after the dr gave him oxycontin, oxynorm and panadine forte... I also think it may be emotional. Im stressing as it is our wedding in 2 weeks and hes so sick, im scared hel b like this until the end. He said its from meds and dr says hel b fine for wedding.. Up until 2 weeks ago apart from this back pain he was ok. Can anyone give me advice? Can ppl get sick vomit etc with cancer from meds then b ok? Adjust to the pills?

The past two weeks have been so up and down. Just when I thought I was starting to get on top of my feelings about this whole thing, and physically feeling better, it has all come crashing down on top of me again. I just want to cry - I have accepted that I am different now, but I find it hard to cope with so many day to day things. I feel like I am never going to wake up.

hi all.. well my dear partner is having a ct and all that today to figure out this back pain.. apparently they now think its related to the cancer and im so scared it'l be spinal mets... can anyone tell me more info on this? can they do anything for the pain? im so frustrated as they only gave him an xray 3 weeks ago, and now all the sudden its serious.... just what we need 😞 now for the waiting part... life sucks

Well its our wedding in 3 weeks... And of course my beloved husband to be's back is out.. He strained it and is constant agony. Today we had our menu tasting and it wasnt a happy affair.. He complained that i didnt do a good job in choosing our wedding menu and was snappy and moaning in pain.. I see other couples there all happy going about planning their wedding, yet i dont feel happy at all :(. I guess it might be the lack of sleep, the stress of the wedding and of course this fkn cancer! Im so tired of seeing him in pain, and i feel dreadful when i want it to be over asap...

I have been warned by the palliative care nurses we are in our last weeks and while it seems unbelievable while he sits in his chair and laughs at Mrs Browns Boys it is equally believable when he can't get up and go anywhere without a lot of assistance. 3 dear friends on this site have lost their loved ones to this beast in recent weeks and now it appears it will soon be my turn.

So treatment is finished, I had a chest x-ray and visit to my oncologist this morning. No trace of the tumour at all. I'm very, very lucky. He was expecting that there would be some shadows still showing up as treatment finished 4 weeks ago. But my lung and the lymph nodes are clear. There is some inflammation in my lung but that should settle over the next few weeks. My oncologist has now put my file in his boring pile 🙂
