Update - progression confirmed; the last shoe drops

Chrisy,
Glad to hear from you....frustrated by the news that a liver met is indeed lurking.
Your medical team seems to be so open to different options, both old and new. (oh...and so are you) I agree with Brenda that you had good luck being on the leading edge with TDM-1, maybe they can select anotherrleading edge drug combo that will work wonders.

It must not seem this way, but it is good news that you have a met in a single location.

If you just need shrinkage for localized treatment, please speak to the Drs. about Abraxane. It was my 2nd treatment and was very tolerable. Hardly knew I was on chemo.

Localized treatment...wish I had more time to wager an opinion. Cryosurgery was freaky but very very doable. Think root canal. Up and about the next day. Lasted a year or so. Then there is the "gold standard", the resection. The good thing about an open resection is that the surgeon can actually see what is happening. They identified 2 nodes that the PET didn't reflect. Feels good to just get the cancer OUT...gone.

So many options my dear, I will be anxious to hear which horse you choose.

We will be here cheering you on!!

Lots of fighting power coming headed your way....Lori
