Hi Missy~
Sending you prayers that the Navelbine/Herceptin combo will finish off that stubborn met.
I was in a similar situation - single, stubborn recurring met, close to main portal vein. That's the reason the RFA was only partially successful & only for a few months.
When we decided to go ahead w/the liver resection, I had a consulted with a vascular surgeon who was on stand by to resect that part of the main portal vein if needed. Fortunately, we didn't need his services, but that couldn't be ascertained until they were "in there looking around".
Keeping fingers crossed for that Navelbine, but if it doesn't do the trick, you still have many combos in your medicine cabinet.
Keep fighting.
Keep the Faith~
