Possible Treatment Plans for Cancer Patients
Cancer pain affects 1 out of 3 cancer patients undergoing Cancer Treatments. Cancer pain can come from the source of cancer itself or from the surrounding areas, such as surrounding tissues, nerves or organs the tumor may be pressing against. Cancer pain may also stem from certain treatment procedures, such as chemotherapy, Radiation or surgery.
The best way to treat cancer pains is to get rid of the cancer by chemotherapy, radiation or surgery. Over-the-counter medications and certain opioids are also common treatments for pain caused by cancer.
Other treatments that are not as common are nerve blocks. Nerve blocks are anesthetics that are injected into or around the nerve to prevent the messages of pain from reaching the brain. A few other uncommon treatments include but are not limited to:
• Acupuncture
• Acupressure
• Massage
• Physical therapy
• Relaxation
• Humor
It is important to speak up about cancer pain because your doctor can help control the pain with medication or other treatments. Talking about the pain is important as it gives your doctor feedback they need to help you feel better. Using a 0 -10 pain scale will help the doctor gage the severity of the pain. According to the Mayo Clinic, fear of addiction and fear of side effects are two common reasons why people are reluctant to speak up about their pain.
