It's official
I went in today for my biopsy, and it is indeed liver mets. If I had not found this forum, i would most likely be devastated, but I feel somewhat hopeful. My doctor told me he has a patient with the her2 positive, hormone negative like me, and she is six years NED as of this week.
I start Herceptin next week, and taxotere/carboplatin the week after. Not sure what to expect from that, but intend to do my best to keep my job and live a normal life while doing the chemo. Any advice you all have to give me on this regimen would be greatly appreciated.
Im officially ready to join your list of stage IV survivors, and I sure look forward to getting to know all of you.
Btw...Im Jody from Kansas. Im 43, and I have three children, two of whom are teenagers that still live at home. I am an assistant manager in a restaurant. Looking forward to knowing more about you all as well.
