Recurrance Too - Liver
I just found out today that I have a spot in my liver again. We thought that it was scar tissue because it didn't show up on the pet scan twice. But the last liver MRI showed that it changed size from a ball to a hour glass and it went from 1.3 cm to 1.5 cm in length. All the other spots are gone. But I ended Herceptin/Taxotere in May of 2006 and now April of 2007 I am seeing stuff again. I guess I have to be glad that it's not anywhere else.
So I get to start the Tykerb/Xeloda pills. I'm a little suprised that he isn't doing many of the other traditional progressive treatments. What are your experiences?
