Hi Maggie. I wa diagnosed with Liver Mets about a month a go and started chemo last Monday with Paclitaxel. I have treatment every Monday for 3 weeks, then have a week off and the following week see my oncologist for a review. I too had the pain under the ribs and right shoulder plus the nausea. I don't know if it is just psychological, but my pain has definitely reduced since starting chemo. I am hopeful, that this means that my liver is less inflamed as the chemo is doing something! I was also diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes earlier this year and am on Metformin. I started off on the 1000 slow release tablet, but it was way too much for me and found that taking half a 500ml tablet twice a day (breakfast and dinner) is working well for me. I also eat very carefully, especially the carbohydrates. Wishing you well with this next challenge ahead. Lynne
