An update on my post block experience….I had the procedure 2 weeks ago and though I rated the pain relief at a 90% reduction, it turns out this was overly optimistic.

The block did address the primary pancreatic tumour radiated pain, it then exposed another site radiating pain on my right side from what I assume is coming from my liver where I have numerous lesions.

This is generating continuous pain at around 4-5 level and requiring endone every 4 hours and slow release OxyContin twice a day… this sort of manages it but only just…. Still trying to find the perfect dosage and meds combination which has me pain free… every time I see the palliative care doctor I get another few scripts… I am keeping my local pharmacy in business!
