Hi, I went through my part 2 of 3 of the embolization and the 3 tumors they went after have gotten smaller but the pain was awful. He did say he was going to hit me hard on the 2nd go around and he didn't lie. I also have many smaller tumors on my lymph glands and more hear and there around the same area. I just have so much pain, is that normal? I also have a high pain tolerance, and feelings of being wrapped in sickness/pain around my torso which is so hard to explain. I have 23 tumors on my liver and more came in after the procedure but the big ones have shrunken, and the same amount in other areas I feel like I am in the dark in knowing what to expect next. I know this is a non-curable cancer. Thank you , Anthony

Hello Anthony, (@sturns)

It is good to hear from you and have an update on your embolization. I'm really sorry to hear of the pain you are experiencing. It is good that many of the tumors have shrunk. You say that you feel like you are "in the dark in knowing what to expect next." Can your doctor or someone on his staff provide you with help in understanding what the next step will be like?

It sounds as if there is one more embolization in the series. Has that been scheduled yet? Have you been given any meds to help with current the pain?
