Many people with cancer-related pain may have some pain that "breaks through" their regular pain medication. This program will help you and your support persons better understand the difference between background and breakthrough pain, and will help you and your family talk with your doctor about getting your pain under control. Different types of pain and solutions for better pain control will be discussed. Facilitated by Piyush Srivastava, MD, a medical oncologist with Kaiser Permanente.
