Carolyn,
Wow..proof that there seems to be never ending variation in what people experience.

Good point about Abraxane. I believe she got the regular Taxol. Maybe that contributed to the bad reaction. I believe Abraxane is thought to be more effective too.

I don't know if they can redo the PET/CT. The CT has never been very helpful with the liver. Maybe they would redo/do a chest CT since the PET/CT report mentions possible breathing motion artifacts.

Mom is due back for Navelbine (probably cancelusion) Tuesday. I will make sure they do a liver function test. Onc meeting isn't until Friday.

Please expand the context of what happened with your liver.
