Hi Joy! All I can add here is that when Nikki was first dx'ed with liver mets, they started her off with Taxol/Herceptin/Lapatinib and at that time she would tell me, her oncs. and nurses that she felt a different kind of pain in her liver area and that she knew the chemo. was working. This combo. did work for 15 months before progression. When we tried other treatments after that, she was worried because she never felt that particular "pain" again, and those other treatments were not as effective. This is my only experience with this matter, and sure, it's totally anecdotal, but since you asked, I thought I'd bring it up. You hang in there, Little Sis!
