Cancer pain can be controlled in almost every case. This does not mean that you have no pain, but that it stays at a level that you can bear.
Cancer and its treatments can be painful. A tumor that presses on bones, nerves or organs can cause pain. Surgery for cancer can cause pain. So can chemotherapy and radiation. Some medical tests, such as bone marrow aspiration, can also cause pain. There are a number of ways to control each of these kinds of pain.
