Wow lung cancer at 19 is next to impossible unless you are a heavy heavy smoker and started early and have had second hand smoke all your life. Might want to ask your doctors about alternative meds, because with their extensive medical and ocological training, they might know a couple more things than random Yahoo answerers.

I agree, you are indeed unfortunate - lung cancer is rare in one so young; 75% of those diagnosed with it are over 65, age is the greatest risk factor after smoking. What medications have been tried so far? What stage is your cancer? You're asking about pain relief; there may be natural ways to help relieve your symptoms. Talk to your doctor about this

Obviously, you could ask your doctor about suitable pain relievers. She may suggest ibuprofen. Why not ask? From the side of natural products, taking some anti-inflammatory foods or herbs may help, as pain is sometimes related to inflammation. Direct anti-inflammatory supplements that come to mind would be fish oil, flax seed oil, luteolin (best one that I know is Lutimax™), and boswellic acid (5-Loxin® is my favorite). A food found helpful with lung cancer is the Select Vegetable product from Sun Farms. It contains several things, among which are mung beans, shiitake mushrooms, Oldenlandia, and Scutellaria barbata.

I hope you got a second opinion. You are very young to have lung cancer. If the oncologist hasn't given you pain pills (I take a low dose morphine twice a day) or given you a medicine for nausea (there are several good anti nausea drugs on the market, but they make you very, very sleepy,) tell him/her you want to see a pain specialist doctor. These drugs should be taken on a regular schedule, don't wait until the problem arises and try to beat it back. Most of the side effects can be managed.

Prayer can be helpful. Know that God can help you live a better life if you want Him to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end -- time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God's Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God's blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can't explain the world's natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner's prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus' name, amen." I'm Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could check out a Christian church and also see about their weekly Bible study group as a good way to learn about God's will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.
