Well, I had a bit of a shock at my local oncs office today. My liver mets have grown significantly since finishing taxol/carbo in July. I can't believe how big they are. I start Navelbine with weekly herceptin tomorrow. I don't mind starting the chemo tomorrow, I'm just really freaked out at how aggressive this thing is. What if it doesn't work? Is it still possible to beat these things back down again? The mets are almost as big as they were when I was re-diagnosed 4 years ago and it was bad.
I just restocked supplements yesterday and really focused on liver oriented things. Any advice? Things I can do to augment? Any encouraging studies? I'm just reeling right now.
