Linda,
I'm so sorry you're going through such an anxious time, but I hope you have rallied by now, it being a few days past your post. Sorry this is kinda late.
I've been on Navelbine/Herceptin, for six months in 2001, and again this year for another planned six month regimen, into my second month now. I don't have liver mets, just lymph nodes, but Navelbine has been very tolerable both times. Just some aches and pains and tiredness as blood counts dip, and my hair has thinned somewhat along with eyelashes and eyebrows. I also have a tiny bit of neuropathy on the ends of my fingers, as I did last time. I take a good B vitamin complex to counteract that effect, it seems to lessen it. Hope you do well on this treatment, it's been good to quite a few of us!
Love,
Lolly
