Hi,

This is on behalf of my mom:

HER2+++ er/pr-
Rt. Breast Primary 2001 Oct.
Surgery followed by FAC
Mets to Sternum 2004
Treated with Taxol, Herceptin (6 months only) + Rad
Single Brain Met 3cm June 2006
Treated with Gamma Knife (didn't work)
Then surgery Apr 2007 with great success
Started Tykerb 3 weeks ago + Xeloda (500mg x 6) 2 weeks ago

PET Scan last week now shows multiple Liver mets & large lesion on the Sternum has grown back (this is the site of original met). Brain is all clear!

I have been reading the posts and people have talked about Zometa, Taxatere even Xeloda for Liver... any advice?

Have people had success with surgical removal from Liver - particularly when there are multiple mets?

Hanv't met the ONC he's at a conference in London, back in a couple of days... we are out in India.

Any help appreciated....

Thanks,
Suman
