Hi Laurie,

I am so sorry that you got bad news but please know there are treatments that can help.

I also had a liver met, my was smaller 1cm but the biospy did not show Her2. My Onc said sometimes that happens, I still stayed on Herceptin. I chose to treat my met with Cyberknife radiosurgery, it was 3 -45 minute treatments over a week. A robot delivers the radiation to the site, my liver has been clear for 2 years now. No side effects and no pain (I did get sick to my stomach once) I felt the same after treatment.

I am now battling a small lesion on my spine (L2), I had Cyberknife to that area in May. My next pet scan is August 5th so I'll let you know but I feel great. I would also ask your Onc about TDMI (super herceptin) you may be able to get in a trial. Seems like the women who talk about it on this board are very happy with it.

Please know I'm praying for you, God Bless
Pat
