Hi Rich! I think it's awesome the way you are helping your Mom. My wife, Nicola, was on Taxol, Herceptin and Tykerb for liver mets, and it worked great for her for about 15 months. She had the usual side effects of diarrhea with the tykerb and sinus issues with the Herceptin. Right off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone that has received Xeloda as a 1st line of treatment. It's expensive and could have some rough side effects. Sorry, I know very little about Avastin and lung mets. Keep up the good work. I know it can be tough.
