A member asked:
Realistically speaking, how much pain is someone in when radiation/chemo is needed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It varies: Pain may not be present at all for chemotherapy and/or radiation to be needed. Some people with cancer may be in severe pain and chemotherapy and/or radiation may be used to alleviate pain.
