I am in pain because the metastatic liver cancer in my liver is growing. My liver is growing, pushing against other organs and my ribs: all causing me pain. The more the cancer in my liver grows, the more pain I will have.
What are pain killers
- pain killers don’t let you feel the pain, yet the pain is still around
(which is something I tend to forget: no pain means no more painkillers and then suddenly the pain that has always been there is felt again…) - pain killers make you constipated
- pain killers can damage your stomach
Top 10 painkillers
In my case it is a top 3 only:
- started with Dafalgan: paracetamol
- now taking Tramadol (supposed to have the least side-effects concerning stomach and constipation)
- 15 ml every 6 hours
- next week prognosis 20 ml Tramadol every 6 hours
- next week prognosis 30 ml Tramadol every 6 hours
- next week prognosis 40 ml Tramadol every 6 hours
- morfine
Please invite your friends at Metastatic Liver Cancer to leave me a hug!
Hi,
I read the comment you left on my blog. I have put your site on my blog page under the links for people to check out. Thank you in advance for mentioning me on your page.
you mentioned me joking about my cancer…I have to, I need to laugh and joke or I will go insane! I can’t live thinking about how depressing and sad it is to have breast cancer and lose my hair and all this other stuff at 28…so I joke and laugh and it helps me not to think about the “what if’s”.
Your situation is a lot different then mine and i wish you all the best and hope they can find someway to help you soon! I wish there was something i could do to help you. I will keep checking in on you! And you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Hugs, Kim
