Your post brought up alot of memories for me. When I was diagnosed with liver mets in Jan 04, my liver was shutting down, my skin was yellow, even the whites of my eyes were yellow.

My liver was completely covered with tumors. A month after my diagnosis, I took a one week chemo break to go on a planned ski trip to Sun Valley Idaho, not knowing if that would be my last outing with my husband and my friends.

My friends that shared the condo with us honestly feared I'd pass away while in Sun Valley.

I was on Navelbine/Xeloda and Herceptin and they turned the tide and 13 months later my liver was NED. While there is life, there is still the chance for treatment to take effect. This is a tough spot for you, I'll be thinking of you and supporting you in spirit no matter which way things go.
