I was blessed in that I didn't have a lot of pain post treatment. So I'm no help on this front... but welcome and Christine is right... there is no reason he should be in pain. I have a friend with peritoneal cancer - prior to going to my hospital (PMH) she was at a local hospital where they had her on TYLENOL 3??????!!!! She kept telling me she was in pain. I had pushed her to move to a CCC - which is PMH here in Toronto and she had so I told her to call her dr. and have them prescribe her something for pain. They did so immediately and she's a lot more comfortable. They gave her either oxy (which doesn't work at all for pain for me - puts me to sleep!) or hydromorph... she's great now.. No pain at all. But everyone else here can tell you what they use and how effective it is. And as David says... usually the first two to three weeks post rads is the worst. take care

Push for pain management. He should not be made to suffer.
