3 months after ending Cisplatin/Taxol/Herceptin, liver tumors came back. I did the weekly treatment for 6 months. After only 3 months, the tumors in my spine and liver were all gone. I think there were 9 total. Then, I went on Herceptin alone for 3 months, and at my last scan there is 1 small tumor back in the liver. I don't know what they will do next. Does anyone have any experience they can share? I was thinking I would have about a year before it came back. I am SO disappointed that I seem to hit the bad side of statistics almost every time. I guess I can be glad I got a complete response, but how good is that if it comes back so fast?
