Dear Joy,
I am sorry that you are having difficulties, and feeling low.
You are a strong spirit , with lots of love, and are a long way off from exhausting avialable treatment.
I do think it is a good idea to get a biopsy, to check for any changes .
I don't have any problems with my liver, however I do know it well.
We can survive with a minimal amount of liver function. It's also a problem when the tumor load blocks the ducts, at which time a stent can be considered to releive the fluid build up as well as tx with chemo.
When my mom's recurrence was dxed as liver mets, she had "too many lesions to count"She was 75 at the time and had mutiple other health issues.
Anyway, she responded to Taxol, and AIs and lived well for over 5 yrs.She passed on right before her 80 birthday.
I believe strongly in the power of prayer and you are in mine.
God Bless.
