Coping with Cancer

People who have cancer don't always have pain. Everyone is different. But if an individual does have cancer pain, it can almost always be relieved. Cancer pain can range from mild to very severe. Some days it can be worse than others. It can be caused by the cancer itself, the treatment, or both. This book discusses pain control medicines and other methods to help manage pain, and addresses the physical and emotional effects of pain. It includes questions to ask health care professionals, a sample pain control record, a list of resources, and a glossary of terms. This book also provides information and recipes to help patients meet their needs for good nutrition during cancer treatment.
