Joy, I'm know this is stressful and worrysome. Navelbine / xeloda has always worked well for Linda's liver mets and it has a track record of being a well tolerated comination, don't worry, it will work for you. As far as running out of options: newer research has shown that although cancer will become resistant to various drugs, those same drugs can be used with success after 6 months.

Lastly, try not to forget why your parents named you JOY.
Thinking about you,
Al
