Lily, you have not been through many treatments yet, there are alot of options for you. I'm confident you will beat these liver tumors back into submission quickly.

Lilly,
no advise from me ...only much love and caring! I just know one of the "cocktails" will work for you! Keep hugging that beautiful baby Max and of course your DH.

Big hugs,Marcia

Dear Lily,

I am so sorry to hear your news. I am thinking positve thoughts of good health for you Lily. I will be praying that you and your doctor find a combo that will knock those mets back. Please know that all of your sisters are here with you.

Hugs,
Patricia

I hope I can be a...
 

part of your family too! Husbands can be wonderful (or so I have ehard:) ), but no one knows the way someone in your exact shoes knows and that is us! And again, there are so many options for you and I noticed that you were on tamoxifen at some point and I'm not sure how current that info is, but for some her+++ gals tamoxifen can cause a problem. I'm not even sure if the medical community knows how or why until we try it, but it can fuel it for a subset of patients (I was one of those).

So have good discussions with your doctor or doctors. Look at RFA, look at drug combos (Taxotere/Xeloda initially knocked back my extensive mets as have other treatments since). Do your research (you don't even need to leave this site for great research info) and advocate for yourself and we will be here with you!

Lily. Sending best wishes and prayers your way. Tell DH it's nothing personal, I'm sure he's trying, but he can't fully relate to being a cancer patient. Then again, we can't fully relate to being a cancer caregiver. Don't know which one is worse.

It could be you've become tamoxifen resistant but I didn't think that was common in triple positive.

Do let us know the suggested tx. You'll be helping us. I do know what you mean about being a fanatic. It's cheaper than a psychiatrist.

I have a 13 year old son Max. Thinking about our kids makes this all harder.

I hope you have the same success as others have had. Bev

I am sorry that you don't have more "immediate" support nearby. But all of us on this website are rallying for you. You have many options out there, I hope they pick just the right one for you and those nasty mets disappear.

Lily,
You are never alone here. Sorry you have to deal with this. Prayers and hugs are coming your way.
Donna

Lilly there's not much I can add to all these wonderful replies except to also add my best wishes you'll get through this and be NED again asap!

Lilly,
 

As the other ladies have said, there are many options available today and I am sure one of them will work for you. Please do not feel that you are alone. We are here for you any time you need to talk.
I also think contacting the American Cancer Society in your town is a great idea. There may be someone out there just like you who needs someone to talk to also.
Sending you hugs and prayers,
Emelie

Big Hugs For Lily, Our Beautiful Lily...
 

Lily, Sweet Lily, I just wanted you to KNOW you are in my thoughts and prayers. From the moment I read your post, my heart sank and my prayers for you began!

My arms are around you in a big hug! I am so sorry for your news that you must once again be strong and brave and face tx. But there are many weapons out there and you and your doc will find just the right recipe for you to dissolve those nasty upstarts and blast them into oblivion! Taxotere and H worked for me. Others had different cocktails that worked on their liver tumors. This is doable. Wish to God you didn't have to go through this again, but I believe you will emerge victorious and DANCE WITH NED! That is my prayer for you. Please let us all know what you are doing and how you are doing. We all care and are here for you, sweet Sister...

So glad you have your husband and your son and their love to add to ours, to boost you up and help keep you afloat. And surely your Mom's thoughts and prayers are with you at all times, no matter where she is! Much love is surrounding you. Open your heart, and let it fill you up to overflowing...

With loving, healing energy being sent your way, Lily,
