Social Question  rebbel's avatar  Is (suffering from) cancer
painful?  Asked by rebbel (23413 points ) September 29th, 2011
My (former) neighbour, a thirthyish year old girl/woman, has
breast cancer, and although we have had open, straightforward
conversations about her being sick, treatment, impact on both
mental and physical area, I have untill now not asked a very
obvious in my view question: Is it painful to have cancer? I am
asking specifically about physical pain. Does anyone know what
cancer does to a body? Since I understand that having (had)
cancer is very hard and a very private matter, I understand that
one might not want to talk about it on a public website. In that
case and if you would not mind feel free to send me a PM with
what you would answer. Thanks in advance.  Observing members: 0

Yeah, it is. We lost my MIL to breast cancer. At the end,
hospice was handing out the morphine like candy and we were
giving her near lethal levels
