Hi,

On the 'Calling all Stage IV Sisters' thread, you can find quite a few members who were diagnosed with liver mets and are currently 'NED' (No Evidence of Disease).

I've seen a report not long ago stating that Herceptin help 'cure' Her2+++ breast cancer in 37% (47%?)of the cases. A lot of progress has been made in the Her2 +++ breast cancer field. Certainly hope your scan will come back clean. But even if it's not, there's a good chance that it will be within a year or two after treatment.

Having young children while undergoing cancer treatment is tough. Have you contacted "Cleaning for a reason' (they provide free house cleaning to cancer patients in cities/areas where services are available.) Be sure to check with your local/hospital social workers for assistance. Perhaps there's a special program for children whose parents are undergoing cancer treatment?
