Makes you wonder. Speaking of pain, don't be a martyr and wait until the pain becomes unbearable to request help. Then they have to get the stuff from the hospital pharmacy, and then find another nurse to give it to you. Then you have to wait for it to work. Unless you enjoy being nauseous, remember that most painkillers should be taken with food, even if it's just a slice of bread or a cracker or two.
Most hospitals have chaplains on staff.
If they do, they usually spend a fair amount of time on the oncology floors, for obvious reasons. Whether you are religious or not, and regardless of what religion you are, it's worth it to request a visit. These people can provide a fair degree of comfort and compassion. If you have a roommate, be considerate, particularly with noise. Hospitals are noisy enough as it is, with people and equipment moving at all hours of the day and night.
