I forgot to add, I have scans every 3 months and there has been no sign of recuring cancer.

Hello @judiwells

I am sure you are pleased to be 16 months post-surgery and that the scans show no signs of recurrence. I am sorry to hear of your back pain; that sounds very uncomfortable. Have you consulted any other doctor regarding the back pain?

Perhaps an appointment with an orthopedic doctor specializing in the lower back would be helpful. This pain might be related to another condition.

Is the pain constant or does it come and go? Is there anything that seems to trigger the pain? Is it better when you stand up or sit?
