Dawny,
I know exactly how you are feeling. The same thing happened to me. My met to my liver was stable too and I guess we all want it out of there yesterday right? Mine got overshadowed and put on the back burner though because my brain scan showed something that no one is saying looks like mets but obviously won't commit. Waiting on the the results of second higher resolution MRI to view it better.
I'll hang in there waiting for regression if you will. It does seem the Kadcyla/TDM1 has a slower start than some so we'll have to keep thinking positive. By the way, it's also that I'm hopeful it works because it is easier to tolerate than most and would be nice to be able to benefit from.
Sending positive vibes your way.
Cathy
