Good morning, Rebecca @bectech and welcome to Mayo Connect. My goodness you are in a world of hurt with the chronic pain you’re enduring and now you have liver cancer to add to the mix. Getting a diagnosis of cancer, any cancer, fills us with fear. So you’re not alone there. I’ve found some of our members who also have liver cancer so that you can connect with them and not feel so alone.

These two conversations will be helpful for you to speak with others who also have liver cancer and can offer you some encouragement along your journey.

~Liver cancer: I'm weighing treatment options including transplant with @alfonso22 @kathycaudle @duckduck2020 and others who have liver cancer or have loved ones with cancer.

With your chronic pain have you been given any medications to reduce the inflammation and pain?
Do you take any arthritis medications?

Look, don't give up! Keep looking for a good pain specialist or neurologist. There must be one out there who can address your health issues. Chronic pain CAN be addressed by certain meds along with something like a spinal cord stimulator. Not sure about the liver cancer. Perhaps a top notch oncologist. You may have to go to one of the big hospital groups. My buddy went to numerous, local doctors in PA for his cancer with no results. Ultimately, he went to The Cleveland Clinic. There, they were able to pinpoint his problem and get him back to good health. Just saying. Praying that the Lord directs your steps. Let Him be your guide.
