Havah J~
I was dx'd Stage IV w/single liver lesion.
After 8 unsuccessful weeks on Navelbine/Herceptin, I progressed to "innumerable, immeasureable" mets...
That was 51/2 yrs ago.
Ultimately, Taxol/Herceptin is what successfuly knocked my disease to NED.
I had multiple recurrences -same single lesion popping back up, but each time we'd knock it back w/TH.We tried Hereptin/Abraxane, but that didn't work for me either, so we switched to TCH & that did the trick.
Since each recurrence was only the single met, my doc said I was a candidate for a liver resection - that was done in Dec.2005.
My liver has been NED ever since.

You will find the right combo...
The liver is an amazingly resilient organ & the human body has amazing capacity for healing & survival.
Keep the Faith, HavahJ!
