The saddest part is that there is no knowledge out there about cancer pain management. Why? You have pain, you have a right to take a pill. You're not going to be an addict and no doctor has the right to tell you that you are going to be an addict, which is what I heard from the psychiatrist and from my surgeon. God, I don't wish them any cancer, but I would like for one time, one of these doctors to have the pain and you'll see how fast they go to their medicine cabinet. I think this country needs a spokesperson to go and talk to doctors, talk to hospitals, scream, go to Washington, do something so that people who have cancer or any other pain-related illness that the doctor shouldn't be afraid to write a prescription to help this person that is having such a terrible, terrible problem with pain.
