As a nurse Packer knows what he is talking about. No patient going through cancer treatment should have to go without pain medications, prescribing them is a standard protocol. If your current doctor does not immediately prescribe adequate drugs to alleviate the pain, get another doctor involved. This is gross mismanagement of things on the current doctors part in my opinion.
