About The Cancer Pain Book
More than half of those with cancer will experience pain. Living through a cancer diagnosis and experiencing changes to physical health, relationships, and emotional and psychological wellbeing can make it difficult to face pain or the prospect of relieving it with any confidence or hope. However, there is hope. The Cancer Pain Book and accompanying App guide you to understand your pain experience – the what, how and why of cancer pain – and the mind–body connection. With a focus on pain management through proven psychosocial interventions including exercise, relaxation, meditation and psychological tools, these resources can assist in building mental resilience, self-compassion and positive thinking.
Using these strategies, you can be hopeful about achieving better control of your cancer pain. Better control means more energy to enjoy the activities you love and time you spend with others. Whatever sort of cancer you have and wherever you are in your journey, The Cancer Pain Book and App will help to make one part of it easier.
