Re: Bad MRI.Liver Met
Michka,
Believe me...I so understand how your feeling...we "get it"! There are several ladies on this board that fought liver mets and won the battle. One member you can look up is "mamacze" (Kim). She was stage IV with liver and lung mets in 2004...she was put on Navelbine/Herceptin and got back to NED. She is being maintained on Herceptin alone and still NED. Then there is Chrisy which had liver mets and enrolled into the T-DM1 trial over 2 1/2 yrs ago and she is still NED and doing well...I'm sure she will chime in when she reads this. I'm no expert in this area but I would think you could even hit it with CyberKnife? Hang in there...you have some good options to go after this and put it all behind you. We are here for you. Hang in there.
Chelee
