Not much from the visit to the pain clinic.

We saw our oncologist on August 12th. Went to a pain clinic the next day. Her pain medication was increased from 100 mg three times a day to 120 mg three times a day. Also got a prescription for Opana. The insurance company denied this so the Doctor has to file an appeal.

She took 8 mg of melphalan per day starting on the 17 of August for 4 days along with 40 mg of predisone each of the 4 days.  She has been doing this every 6 weeks now for about a year.
The peripheral neuropathy has not improved. This week she started taking 100 mg of Lyrica twice a day. The gut is still not working well.
