Hi
I’m hoping someone will be able to offer some advice. I had a WLE, chemo and rads, finishing in January 2008. I also started on Tamoxifen in November 2007. But since late Feb I seem to have developed numbness in lower back (more the top of buttocks). I can only sit down for about 5 minutes before having to shift position or stand up. I must admit I get some funny looks on the train due to all my fidgeting and wriggling about!
Hoping someone can offer some advice.
Thanks,
Carol
Hi Carol - only the advice that I think you know is coming. You really to contact your hospital/onc as ask to be seen urgently. This sort of symptom cannot be ignored. As it isn’t that long since you finished treatment, personally I wouldn’t waste time contacting your GP. It may not be cancer related but I think the the hospital is your best bet to see if they eliminate that.

Hi Carol,
Could be sciatica but you must get it checked out and dont be fobbed off, insist that you go for a scan .

Thank you Dawn & Andrea. I’m due to go to Canada week after next and the thought of sitting on a 7 hour flight is filling me with dread.
Best Wishes
Carol
