Suggest Alternative Less Painful Treatment For Cancer
Hello Sir,
I am from DehraDun. My mother got her treatment for cancer in her throat (left side tonsil area) about 10 years back. She was treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy at SafdharJang, New Delhi. About six months back, when she went to dentist for fitting a denture, metallic part in the denture hurt her gums on the left side of the jaw. I gave her tetracyclin to avoid any infection. After about one month or so, the gum started turning its face similar to what seems to be a cancerious growth. She is now not ready to treat the cancer again with painful treatment of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Even if we will make her ready for that treatment she wanted it to be done in DehraDun. Please suggest some alternative, less painful way to treat the disease or suggest some hospitals in DehraDun
Thanking You

hi.
there is no "less painful way" in treating the type of cancer your mother has. but you could ask your primary doctor to refer you to a pain medicine doctor for better cancer pain control/management.
hope this helps.
good day!!
