Most cancer patients will, from time to time, experience pain which is normally treated by pain medications. Pain which lasts for up to 12 hours a day is called persistent cancer pain, and this, too, can be treated, with stronger pain relievers.
However, from time to time, a patient will experience BTCP, or "Breakthrough cancer pain", in which the pain "breaks through" the normal doses of pain treatments. Such pain usually strikes without warning.
Speaking at the function Reverend Sam Oppong, Director of BTCP said the aim of the centre was to provide an effective, comprehensive, and cost effective curriculum to the pastor and church elders wherever they might be located.
He said the BTCP's programme was different from the traditional Bible College and the correspondence school because the course was Bible centred, practical and church based.
Rev Oppong also said the BTCP was not in competition with the traditional Bible or correspondence schools, but rather a complement to the existing traditional forms and methods of providing theological training for pastors and church leaders.
