My mother is diagnosed with 4th stage lung cancer. She has undergone 6 chemo cycles. She is unable to sleep and has intolerable pain in chest area, she couldn't even lay straight , she is facing this problem from last 6-7 months. The high opiods like morphine were also unable to make her sleep and decrease her pain. I need a solution so that she could win the fight over cancer as well as the stabbing pain.

Dear doctor, I had sharp chest pain on the left bottom side of the chest after which I quit smoking(4-year-old habit). The pain persisted for 2-3 days only and after a month, I am getting the pain again - this time in multiple areas on both sides of the chest. I also have a mild cramp like pain in the left back area. No weight loss or loss of appetite or other illness. Could this be related to lung cancer?
