Hi Dee!
So sorry that you even have to think about all this right now. This sneeky stuff gets us when we least expect it!
If I understand how they work with herceptin (I've been on it since April), they often keep us on it even when it "appears" not to be working.
They might add the drugs that work on the liver mets and allow the combination to shrink those mets away!
I know so little, but I do know that waiting and not knowing is the hardest part of all. While I can't change your circumstances, I know that the people on the site will give you tons of ideas to focus on AND I can pray for you and believe that this too will be momentary and a good life will return!
Lots of love and peace coming your way,
Mary Anne
