Hello all,

I'm a stage 4 who was found to move from a three to a four after a spot on my liver was found and some skin mets over my implant. The liver spot is shrinking but the skin continues to look very red. My onc. is looking to switch me to Avastin with herceptin. Anyone else do this and did it work? Any side effects? Will I ever get rid of the skin mets? Or will I just keep them at bay? I've been doing weekly chemo since the first of the year and I'm becoming worn out. I welcome any positives!!

Thanks to all of you. Your the greatest!
