Sweetpe, have you had the results of the scans? Your signature and posts don't quite match up.

I can relate to the swelling and how it goes down when your mother is up and about. I've been told that I have some lymphodema which will eventually resolve once the lymph fluid finds new pathways and like your mum I finished treatment 3 - 4 months ago.

Does a cancer society nurse visit? Sometimes they can be very helpful between trips to the doctors. What about pain treatment? Sleeping propped up plus pain relief will help ease the night-time discomfort.

I wish you both all the best.
