My husband has been diagnosed with Stage 4 paleomorphic liposarcoma. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment. He has pkd, and has been struggling with increased pain since he started the chemo. Doctors don't seem to know why the pain is increasing, as his scans don't show any bursts; urine tests don't show any infection. Has anyone out there had experience with this? We are looking for answers to manage his pain.

thanks
