I have been having a pain in the middle of my chest. I have been to the doctor and had all kinds of tests ran but no answer to where the pain is coming from? Could it be cancer?

I heard that when someone has cancer they feel no pain

bloating, blood in the urine, ect like me, why does she get a stabbing pain around where the kidneys are? Like a sharp stabbing pain lasting for about 10-20 seconds around where the kidneys are. It has gone away now. But could this mean the cancer is spreading? I get a feeling it s. But I need to know your opionion about this. Would a ovarian cancer patient get stabbing pains that last for a short time around near the kidneys? Urgent advice.

You've been repeatedly told to go see a doctor. You need to be clinically examined to determine what is going on. Your description is too vague and does not correspond to ovarian cancer. With early cancer you don't have any symptoms. Call your doctor.

It is unnecessary to ask the same question multiple times. You have now asked this at least 15 or more times.

Actiq, a narcotic painkiller that looks and tastes like a lollipop, may lead to addiction, overdose or death. The
FDA approved Actiq only for cancer patients who suffer from intense pain. But recent studies show that more
than 80% of patients use the Actiq lollipop for reasons other than cancer pain, such as migraines and back pain.
If you or a loved one was prescribed Actiq for reasons other than treating cancer pain and suffered from overdose,
addiction or death, call Rolshouse & Associates toll free at 1-866-61-CLAIM. That’s 1-866-61-CLAIM

No chemo no radiation just pain killers.Secondary cancer of the bones, lungs,spine and lymph nodes.Canceris tumor started in the liver. oh by the way two tumors on the liver not just one.

Only an oncologist can properly answer that after a proper diagnosis. The cancer stage is the primary basis for predicting possible death due to systemic failure. At the metastatic stage, a patient will be given a count of threes such that the worst estimate will be 3 months, beyond that, another 3, and further.

Cancer pain is really difficult to treat. And as the tumor progresses, the pain may at times increase with it. Cancer patients deserve adequate and PROMPT pain control mainly because they do not have the luxury of time. This is where a pain management team comes in. You should have your mom be seen by pain specialists as soon as possible. For ovarian cancer, opioids like morphine, fentanyl, or oxycodone are commonly used. When medications are not enough or when the side effects are intolerable, an interventional procedure like implantation of intrathecal catheter may be warranted. With it, opioids are delivered straight to the spinal cord at doses just 1/300th that of the oral morphine equivalent dose.

Mom is 4 months post-op for ovarian cancer surgery, but still has the same pain. Initially oncologist said it was from the tumors, but they are shrinking a lot…but pain level is still the same? She is getting IV dilaudid right now, but when she goes home it will be pills…will the pain be controlled ok this way? Any tips?

If your Mom is still in the hospital she should have access to the Pain Team of doctors. You should ask them their opinion. If she is not being treated by a Pain Team than there are some websites that you can look at that might be helpful.

There is no reason that anyone should suffer with cancer pain. Insist that the doctors solve this problem for your mother.

And, finally the National Comprehensive Cancer Network provides a guide for the treatment of Ovarian Cancer. If you havn't read it yet, here is the site:

I have no doubt it is very painfull but what does the pain stem from, please I understand how horrible it must be to know that you have cancer but where does the physical pain come from?

It really depends on the type of cancer, and where it is. Some people don't even know it's there until it has spread to different organs, and sometimes they feel it right away. Cancer is essentially mutated cells, that grow irregularly. So, the pain is usually due to pressure on certain nerves, or organs that may be displaced, or compromised by the mutated (cancer) cells. I hope that gives you something to work with.

A relative by marriage is suffering from cancer. He has a lot of excruciating pain and very recently was placed on morphine by intravenous. He was rushed to hospital after having a bad fall caused by his weakness and pain. The medical staff placed him on intravenous morphine. He wanted to go home. There's a hospital bed in his home to help him be more comfortable. What I need to know ..is morphine by intravenous more for t hose who are dying???

I am sorry to say but your relative is nearing the end. My Mum pasted away in sept this year after a four month battle with kidney cancer that spread to her liver and lung. Mum also had a fall about 3 weeks before she past, she had no strength to even stand up with someone holding her. About 2 weeks before she was put on a morphine intravenous too because her pain was terrible. About a week before she past her tumors in her chest and neck protruded from her body. She couldnt speak, or do anything. i was glad for her sake it was all over. It is a terrible terrible disease that strips all your dignity. My mum also wanted to be at home, im glad we did that for her. It was hard on us kids but she got her final wish. I i hope your family is ok contact me if you need any support.

The EPIC survey is the largest ever study of its kind to investigate the prevalence, impact and treatment of pain in cancer

Until now, few studies have investigated pain in cancer and these have been on a limited scale. The EPIC survey, a large scale international study, is an important step forward and will add to the understanding of cancer pain and its impact on patients

The EPIC survey demonstrates that pain in patients with cancer is widespread, frequent and long-lasting, and is not always adequately managed
