Eric I have not been on these boards in quite awhile and am saddened by this news.

Before I was diagnosed I nursed my mom who had BC mets to her liver. The lesions were too many to count and the onc told me it would probably be 6 mos, tops. ( She was 75 the time ) She responded to Taxol and and lived an additional 5 years of an active life.

Caryn sounds like she is obstructed, can they do a stent proceedure which will allow the liver to drain?
Please forgive me , but I believe where there is life there is hope.

I pray there is an alternative for Caryn, and I will hold you all in my prayers.
