hi donna
5 years ago I had many mets to the liver one of which was 7x9cms. I did taxotere and xeloda for a number of months and it all but annihilated the mets. I think xeloda is excellent for liver mets. I am back on it this weekend with tykerb as my mets are wigging out again.
Sorry for the disappointment, it's real, but I think this will be a great combination for you. Check in with the forum for us tykerb gals.
