Re: Update on chrisy - where's NED????

Hi Chris,

I'm sorry to read about your "progress". I wanted to write to let you know I had a liver resection two years ago. Still NED and going strong. I explored all of the options under interventional radiology, (cyberknife, ablation etc.) but for one reason or another I wasn't a candidate for any of them. However, you may very well be. My onc was determined to limit me to chemo options, but I was determined to try something along with the Navelbine. The surgery was rough, but I would do it again tomorrow for these two years. Since a month after surgery (June 09) I have been back on only herceptin. I've been following Lori and Michka who each just had a resection. Hopefully, they can add some insight. Stay strong and start looking into all that the interventional radiologists have to offer. I know you will find a new reason to hope. Hugs and prayers coming your way!
