You need to talk to a surgeon about the risks of a blood clot if you have surgery. Can you get a second opinion at the Marsden or other facility? You go through lung cancer treatment so you can have some life. The pain you are experiencing causes quality of that life to be very poor.

The nurse who answers the answer line at the Roy Castle Foundation may be able to help you better.
