I also have Mitral Valve prolapse and went through 6 rounds of FEC (Fluouracil, Epirubisin, Cytoxan) in 2003 after a right lumpectomy for a 1.2 tumor.

Your wife's doctor probably will be more concerned about her liver met. Because of the heart function issue and possible recurrence (my full-year Herceptin was cut short at 22 weeks during the TCH + H treatment for the recurrence found in 2007)

Several of our members have the experience of treating liver mets. If you type 'Liver mets' in the 'Search' window, you can pull all the threads related to the topic. The Seattle vaccine trial seems to be very effective. And the very exciting TDM-1 trial has been said very likely to get approved by next January.

Positive thinking and regular exercise increase the release of 'Endorphin' from our brain and will improve our immune ability to fight diseases.

Please let your wife know that she's got a league of women (and a few men) fighting along with her. I'm sending good vibes...
