Need specialised pain management: Cancer pain can be complex and require a multidisciplinary approach. This program is ideal if you seek comprehensive pain management tailored to your specific cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Traditional pain management isn't providing adequate relief: If over-the-counter or prescription medications haven't effectively controlled your cancer pain, this program can explore alternative and interventional techniques for better pain control.
You experience side effects from pain medications: Certain pain medications can cause unwanted side effects. This program can explore alternative pain management strategies to minimise reliance on medications with significant side effects.
You want to improve your quality of life: Uncontrolled cancer pain can significantly impact your daily activities and well-being. This program aims to optimise pain management to help you live a fuller and more active life despite cancer.
You're looking for emotional support: Coping with cancer pain can be emotionally challenging. This program may offer support groups or connect you with mental health professionals to address the emotional aspects of pain.
Ignore or minimise your pain: Pain is a real symptom that needs to be addressed. Don't hesitate to talk to your doctor if your pain is uncontrolled.
Stop taking pain medication without consulting your doctor: Abruptly stopping pain medication can worsen pain and lead to withdrawal symptoms.
Self-medicate: Don't take over-the-counter or prescription medications without consulting your doctor, as they may interfere with your current treatment plan or have harmful side effects.
Smoke or drink alcohol: Smoking and alcohol can worsen pain and interfere with the effectiveness of pain medication.
Isolate yourself: Social interaction and emotional support are crucial during cancer treatment. Don't isolate yourself – reach out to loved ones or support groups.
Neglect relaxation techniques: Stress can exacerbate pain. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation to manage stress and improve pain tolerance.
Be afraid to ask questions: Don't hesitate to ask your doctor or nurse any questions you have about your pain management plan or treatment options.

Cancer pain can vary greatly from person to person. It may be a constant ache, a sharp shooting pain, or a burning sensation. You may also experience pain that comes and goes, or pain that worsens with certain activities.
How can I tell if my pain is related to cancer?
It's important to discuss any pain you experience with your doctor. They can help determine if the pain is related to your cancer, a side effect of treatment, or another cause.
