Hi everyone,
My sister has extensive liver mets. Has anyones' bilirubin count been up to 18? Her doctor gave her Herceptin with Xeloda (1,000/day) for a week, but her condition got worse. He took her off Xeloda for a week and now wants her to start up again at least 500/day. She's very jaundiced and has ascitis. Has anyone had a similar situation and had success with Xeloda + Herceptin combo? We are terrified, she is very young.

Thank you.
