PAIN
Peggy Murphy, 57, seen Sept. 9, 2008, in Millersville, Pa., suffers from the pain that keeps her awake day and night. She was getting sicker from the chemotherapy and no treatment seemed to work. She could hardly get up. Murphy complained of pain for years before doctors finally diagnosed it as a recurrence of the breast cancer she thought she had kicked.
