hi-just wondering, are you on chemo w/herceptin?or just herceptin alone?if herceptin alone, i don't think you need any of the pre-meds, including decadron.i had liver mets as well, and when i was on taxol/herceptin, i had the pre-meds first.since i'm just doing weekly herceptin now (since 9/18) i don't have the pre-meds before the herceptin.i tried the triple dose herceptin (once every 3 weeks)but felt miserably flu-ish w/deep muscle & bone pain.i just took tylenol for that, but since then i'm back to weekly & all is well.
as for how well your liver is tolerating tx...everyone is different, but i did 49 weeks of chemo and had normal liver function the entire time.the body is incredibly strong, and so are you and all of us here.keep the faith!
prayers, faith & courage,
jessica
