How Can Severe Pain Due To Ovarian Cancer Be Treated?
My sister has ovarian cancer stage 4 and she is hospitalized for almost a month. She couldn t sleep for many nights because of the pain, also she had a past history of mental disorder, so we don t know what is she going through? my question is that why she is screaming on top of her lungs after they are giving her so many sleeping and pain killer medicines. is it the discomfort of feeding tube or mantel disorder or pain in her lower abdominal region?
