Hi all,

My mum has a recent diagnosis of primary liver cancer which has spread to the spine, in several areas. No symptoms of the liver cancer but she is experiencing a lot of pain due to the spine. 

Does anyone have any experience of those type of pain? Mum is on oxycodone to manage pain: longtec and shorted and also a steroid. Doses are being upped almost weekly as nurses try to find the right dose for her but she's far from pain free. Currently she is on 65mg; is that a lot!? We don't have any context to reference with.

Also, she starts chemo this week. Will there be pain from the chemo? It's the lowest dose, to begin with.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
