Hi Rich,
My regimens for liver mets have included taxotere, carboplatin (hard to tolerate) with herceptin. I've also had navilbene with herceptin and gemzar with tykerb, which were easier for me, but everyone is different. All worked for a while. I have also added Avastin to the mix and interim scans at 8 weeks showed good response to Avastin, Tykerb and Gemzar.
Keep us posted, there are lots of options out there.
