Hi Chris,
I am so sorry about your news but encouraged by your spirit. Still tools left in the tool box girl! I too have liver mets that responded very well to TCH (well a modified TCH - the T was a taxol like study drug) and had an 8 month remission on Tykerb/Xeloda, which has since gone south. I am now on Navilbene/Herceptin and although I've only completed one course (3 weeks on, one week off), I do feel better. I was having pain in the liver area radiating to my back and that has almost completely resolved. So I am hopeful that scans upcoming after the second round will be positive.
Don't give up on Tykerb/Avastin. Take a deep breath and see what doc says. If you go the Navilbene route, I'll be happy to give you any info I can.
In my thoughts and prayers,
