Hi Krissi,
I know you asked about chemo but I've had great success with Cyberknife for a liver met. I was treated 8/08 and scans show my liver is clear of cancer. I know Brown Cancer Center is installing a machine soon. Yes, I am formerly from the Louisville area. Cyberknife also worked on a met L2 spine treated 5/10.
I am currently on Tykerb and Herceptin, I have progression in a couple of lymph nodes. Been on this combo since 2/12 and CA27 is up to 94 then down to 54 then up to 76 so not clear. Last scan was mixed, so after all the news reports Im trying to get into a TDM1 study. From what I could tell there is a TDM1 enrolling somewhere in Louisville. I live in the Tampa area now but I would be willing to commute to Louisville, got lots of friends and family to help me there.
Good Luck
