  Pain is a significant concern for many patients with cancer. It can almost always be well controlled with milder drugs like ibuprofen or acetaminophen or, if needed, with stronger medicines like morphine or similar drugs (known as opioids). Taking these drugs does not mean a person will become addicted. Many studies have shown that people with cancer who take opioids for pain as their doctor directed typically do not become addicted. […] Nutrition is another important concern for people with head and neck cancers such as nasal cavity or paranasal sinus cancers. Both the cancer and its treatment may make it hard to swallow. If this affects how a person eats or drinks, they might need to have a feeding tube inserted into the stomach. This tube will most likely be needed for a short time during treatment, but in some cases it may need to be left in longer.
