stage 4 with liver mets

[aquinis2000]

is there anyone out there who has survived stage 4 with chest , axillary and liver mets.? i,ve had 5 rounds and herceptin and sometimes feel like i'm all alone in this situation. everything i read is stage 1 or 2 and would like to talk to anyone going through or better yet, who has survived this thing. are you out there?

Dont worry ..there are plenty of stage 4 survivors out there. I am having my 4th cycle of taxol/herceptin on Monday for a single liver met but there are many who have multiple mets who are long term survivors. hang in there.

thanks jackie,
but i wish i could talk to anyone who has surived more than a year or two. does anyone know of someone or a place i can contact to talk to someone.i think it would help me make decisions. i'm told my liver looks like "swiss cheese" and a large lymph in my chest and many in axillary with 2 large tumors in breast, one ductal invasive and one lobular invasive. just looking for the truth.

Hi Aquinis,

There are many members on this site with multiple mets. If you read through the her2group site you will find them. Amazing women with even more amazing stories. You can then either email them directly or through this site as a private message.They will answer you. You might also try posting in the her2group site not just the new comers, as I think many times the older members dont always get around to reading this.If all else fails you can contact Joe or Christine and they will always help you.
You have come to a great site, and we are all there to help you.

I talked to a women in San Diego at the Cure mag seminar and she was 10 years out from liver mets!! There is women that do beat this. And she didn't even have Herceptin back then
