Eric,
Sorry to hear that the b/c is growing in the liver and now in the lungs. Hang in there. I was diagnosed as stage IV b/c with mets to liver, bones, and lungs in April 07. Have been on Herceptin, Taxotere, and Zometa. Didn't work and liver tumors continue to grow. Now am on a clinical trial using Herceptin and RAD001 plus the Zometa for the bones. I know how you feel. It's really scary to see the growth in the CT scans. I go back to MD Anderson next Mon-Tues for a check up and the IVs and am already tense from the thought. My doc doesn't think stem cell or the ablation will work for me.
