Hi Shonda~

Damn this disease. I'm so sorry.
I'm glad you already have another treatment plan in place.

I have been Stage IV with liver mets for ~8yrs. Ever since my primary diagnosis. At one point my liver was riddled with lesions-both lobes. Taxol/Herceptin got my liver all cleaned up for a year, but then dealt with a single recurrent spot in the R lobe. I ended up having a liver resection & have been NED there ever since.

I was fortunate not to have any complications, severe side effects with the mets or treatment. My liver function was normal the entire time too. I remember my doc telling me that you can function normally on just 15% of healthy liver.

Sending you positive vibes & prayers.
I hope once you get that Tykerb & Herceptin on board
it'll get to kicking those lesions into oblivion.

Hang in there & Keep the Faith~
