Jane had another MRI last week which freaks her out but she coped with me sitting at the head end and talking nonsense. The following day she had an Echocardiogram.

Today she met her oncologist but there was little to be said. It seems the nodule close to the spleen is in fact in the tail of the pancreas and this is what is causing Jane's persistent back pain.  The liver cancer has been confirmed. Dr Intrivici is confident that the current chemo will resolve the problem but it will take another couple of cycles. She does have a plan C which will require weekly chemo but we live in hope this won't be necessary.

Pain control is the top of the agenda and Jane is hoping to see someone in the pain management  department (how long this will take, nobody can say). In the meantime she continues to take paracetamol every 6 hours, oral morphine whenever she needs it and a slow release morphine twice a day. For someone who hates taking medication this is torture.
