Hi I'm so sorry to read that your wife is suffering with side effects as the result of her painkillers.
I just dropped by, I have a different type of cancer, and noticed you've not yet had a reply so your post will now be bumped back up to the top of the listings and I hope a member of this group will be along soon to offer any advice.
In the meantime, it might be a good idea to contact her CNS for advice or Ask a Nurse here on the forum but you may need to wait a day or two for a reply.
Sending hugs, B x
