Hello;Are you sure your tumor is small cell lung cancer? Because recommended treatment for small cell lung cancer is radiotherapy and chemotherapy not surgery. And are you receiving this treatment. Small cell lung cancer has high chance of spread to liver-have you undergone test like ultrasonography or CT scan of abdomen for test of liver? Regarding pain medication if your pain is well controlled you can stop tramadol/acetaminophen and switch to ibuprofen. Discuss with your oncologist regarding changing Chat Doctor. Regards
