Disease- and Treatment-Related Pain
People with cancer can have pain caused by the cancer itself, its treatment, or both. They may also have pain caused by other health problems that are unrelated to cancer (like arthritis or diabetes).
Increased pain does not mean that the cancer is getting worse, but you should always tell your healthcare team if you have increased pain.
It’s important to remember that no matter what the cause, pain can be treated.
