Re: Looking for some help/insight from the Stage 4 gals...
One consideration would be how extensive are her liver mets. Does she have a few spots, or extensive disease where her lab results (alt/ast etc.) are out of the normal range.
I don't know if she would have a washout period if you didn't do a trial and just went on a new med. 6 years ago I didn't. Once I finished my AC, I went immediately on Taxol/Herceptin.
Good luck , I hope whatever you choose next gets her mets under control.
