Cancer Pain and Cancer Treatment Pain

Those who have been diagnosed with cancer often perceive this process as fighting an uphill battle. The patient and their family members find themselves whisked into a whirlwind of doctor’s visits, treatments, medications, surgeries, lost time from work, and a number of other life changing issues. Their diet changes, the sports they participate in, the activities they remain and become involved with and the places they visit. What is often times underestimated is the pain associated with a cancerous condition and its treatment.

We begin with a thorough history and physical examination. We first determine if a patient’s symptoms are originating with their cancerous condition or something completely unrelated or coincidental. Additional diagnostic testing is sometimes required. Once the origin of the pain has been determined, a strategy to safely and effectively address the patient’s pain is initiated and implemented. This may include pain medication or invasive pain management techniques.

Cancer Pain Treatment and Management

At BACAS, we realize how difficult it can be when faced with these issues, however, there is no reason that a patient should also continue to suffer from pain while attempting to recover and go on with life. Pain can be a tremendous hindrance to a patient’s ability to remain physically, psychologically, and spiritually prepared to work toward becoming cancer free. Our objective is to effectively and safely reduce or eliminate the patient’s pain while they are actively treating the cancer or working toward maintaining their comfortable quality of life.
