Geez - I stay away from the boards for a few days, and everything falls apart. What are you talking about??? Just because you have mets in the liver DOESN'T mean your going to die in 4 months Havahj!! If this is what you doctor is telling you, you better get a new doctor right away!!!!!!!!!!! I had mets in my liver 4 YEARS ago and I am still here. I haven't had mets to the bones, but I've had mets to the lungs (twice now) and leukemia. Everyone of my doctors has learned that you never tell me I'm going to die!! You need to teach your doctors a thing or two. Your looking for answers that NO ONE can give you. Articles can give you statistics, but they are based on information that is several years old. Come on girl, you've been around this board long enough to know this. And treatments are changing every day. I took carboplaten, taxatere, herceptin and femara. Within three months, the lesions in my liver were half the size and in six months they were gone! This past summer, my liver rejected my bone marrow transplant. Within a few weeks of treatment, my liver did a 360, and now I have better liver functions than many of my friends that don't have cancer. The liver is an amazing organ and can rejuvenate itself. Please don't give up. It is a new year and a new day. Time to wipe your self off and fight the good fight...And yes, I am yelling/preaching at you (with love).
