Chrissy,
I am sorry to hear of your recent recurrence. I wanted to share some very encouraging news. I am currently on the Tykerb/Xeloda trial and a women in our group who has liver mets just had her first scans at 6 weeks. In just 6 weeks her liver mets reduced by 50%.
Hang in there! Here's to the tykerb/avastin cocktail and another NED.
Lori
