Hi Ann,
Your post brought me back to when my Mom was dxed with mets to her liver. She had numerous lesions (too many to count) and the prognosis was quite poor.(she had many other health issues as well) .The Onc found a cocktail that worked and with a few adjustments she was able to live a full , and active life for many years. She passed away at Christmas at age 80.

I sincerely hope you are able to get TDM-1 as it's a much more gentle tx. and may allow you to start feeling stronger and also kick the crap out of this mets.
