Metastatic liver cancer vs Valeriana Officinalis
What has metastatic liver cancer in common with valeriana officinalis? They are what I call "expensive" words: those words spoken by expensive people like doctors, surgeons and oncologist…
Metastatic liver cancer is a bad and ugly cancer that grows in the wild. Valeriana Officinalis is a small and cute flower that grows in the wild.

Valerian pictures: top left the flower and left the plant. It is only the root of this herbal plant that is taken. The taste in quite bitter and I don’t quite like it.
Don’t confuse valerian with verbena: from the verbena herbal plant the leaves are used to make a delicious, aromatic taste. For herbal cancer pain relief, it is quite useless though…

I love nature and all the herbal cure plants. Never saw in my herbal books a real cure for cancer, if not I would be eating it like nobody’s business! For pain relief, Valeriana officinalis can be taken and it induces sleep. Now if there is one thing I already do enough since I have my metastatic liver cancer, it is sleeping…

Metastatic liver cancer the bad days
Vomiting, constipated, too much pain, sleeping all day.
Metastatic liver cancer the good days
Not so many but yesterday was one: got a visit from my other son who lives 4 hours away and he brought me a Santa present (just that Santa comes in our tradition the 6th of December, so I am now anticipating Christmas Santa 
)
Happy days mean less pain and less pain means a happy day when no constipation nor vomiting. Pain killers are a good thing if I don’t forget to take my pain medication as my metastatic liver cancer keeps on growing.

See the pain medication stages for my metastatic liver cancer summarized in my previous post: cancer and liver pain.
Cancer pain management stage 1 : paracetamol
This was "easy": I feel pain so I try 500mg paracetamol, if that doesn’t work, I try the 500mg again. My doctor complained I should take the 1000mg or nothing… Brand-name is Dafalgan and it is in tablets that makes bubbles in water
Cancer pain management stage 2: tramadol
In the beginning of this week, I could not bare the pain. Luckily my son was at home and gave me 10 drops of Tramadol, which after some time eased the pain. 10 drops of Tramadol every 6 hours. Then the pain came back, so 10 drops was not enough. I got 15 drops, but then needed to vomit, so I wondered that it was caused by the Tramadol, so I said: no more!
Yet then the pain became so much that I just told my son: do whatever! Too much pain made me unreasonable. Smart son gave me Dafalgan + 5 drops of Tramadol and now I know he topped off my yogurt with 10 extra drops of Tramadol (this is what I call the top 10 painkillers…) Just as well as it did relief the pain and without pain I can think clear again.
Now I have to keep in mind that there is no exact dose: when my metastatic liver cancer grows, the pain grows, so the amount of pain medication grows.
