Coping with the Pain of Colon Cancer

Laurie Smith Anderson documents her battle with colon cancer in her column, The Patient Person. In her latest post she talks about the pain involved in cancer. As a colon cancer patient, she wonders whether her pain is from the treatment or the cancer.

For several months now, I have experienced a deep ache in my lower abdomen that worsens when I stand or walk. My doctors are working to pinpoint the source. Is it the result of new tumor growth, a stent that was placed in my ureter or some unrelated cause? I pray for them to find out soon and fix it whether it takes surgery, radiation or being held upside down and shaken.
