Re: Liver mets....advice?

I am just...speechless...there is a plan for you, I know it. You can do this. Love you.

Age 54, married farm wife/school nurse/mom of 5 adult children...March 2012- found 2.5cm hard, non-painful mass on bse. It was not there, and then it was. Yikes.
Biopsy- DCIS, IDC, er-/pr-/her2+++, grade3. 1 node suspicious on us. Biopsy +.
Plan was for Neoadjuvant TCH x6, Herceptin q3w x a year.
May1- first chemo.
May 5- I could no longer feel the mass. Really. Neither could my oncologist.
July 2- 4th TCH- Oncologist cancels last 2 tx due to "complete response"
August6- lumpectomy with axillary node dissection. No disease present in breast. 1 out of 14 nodes + (4mm)
MUGA #2- 72%
Finished 30 rads Oct '12. Mild lymphedema noticed when I had 2 rads left.
Continue Herceptin q3w until next May
April '13- first mammo since surgery- calcium deposits that are " not concerning." Well, they are concerning to ME! Turned loose from surgeon for 6 months! One more Vit H, will make plans then for port removal.
Oct '13- no change in calcium deposits. "See ya in 6 months!" Keeping port for now.
March '14- oncologist says return in 6 mo.
April '14- mammo unchanged. Surgeon will see me in 6 months but no mammo for a year unless something changes. Its getting easier, but oh, boydo i hate that scanxiety! Keeping port until 2 year anniversary of last Herceptin.
Sept'14- bloodwork good, return to onco in 8 months.
Oct'14- surgeon will see me in April '15. Moving on.
May '15- mammo unchanged, keeping same schedule. Tumor markers soon and if all is well port comes out.
July '15-tumor markers normal. See onco in a year. Appt. for port end of month. First grandchild born July 1st- for today, life is good.

Red face Re: Liver mets....advice?

Here comes out the proverbial "crapstick" again!

My advice - FIGHT!

You may need one of the standard chemos plus one of the new targeted drugs, but at least a two-pronged approach should shut the buggers down.

My liver mets were in the days when we only had Herceptin, and luckily it worked in combo for me. You have a great chance to overcome the mets with all the new possibilities.

Be sure to ask a lot of questions. You are much better armed than I was.

Re: Liver mets....advice?

Dear Embur,
I know liver mets sound scary, but there are numbers of women on this site who have had good results from treatment. Mine actually appeared while on a trial with TDM-1, but Docetaxol and Herceptin shrank the nasty little critters almost completely. I am still stable and living well on Herceptin and Tamoxifen, hoping to emulate some of our sisters with 10 years or more at Stage IV.
Just remember we are all different and there are many treatment options available. I hope you and your onc quickly settle on a treatment plan that is effective and not too onerous.
Sending best wishes..... Pam

Re: Liver mets....advice?

Embur, I know your recent news is very hard to accept at the moment, but just remember that your docs are right on everything that is happening with you. Pamelamary is so right when she says there are lots of things that can be done for liver mets. I first got a liver met about 4 years ago, and chemo got it under control a couple of times, and then I had surgery this year and all is clear again - the met had grown back to around 4.5cm. Keep us in the loop as to how you go, and sending you hugs.
Marie

Re: Liver mets....advice?

This site and you ladies ( and gentlemen) are amazing! It is such a comforting feeling knowing that I can always come here for love and support. My gratitude overflows to each and every one of you~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

on a secondary night, went to ER last night with itching, swelling hives covering my legs and arms. Allergic reaction to either contrast dye from yesterdays CAT scan, or from Lamictal , the new anti seizure medication that I started on Sunday. Ordered Benadryl, and discontinued Lamictal. Starting Vimpat today.

Will post the liver mets treatment plan after I see my onc tomorrow.

Re: Liver mets....advice?

Embur,

As others have said, everyone's different and responds to treatments in different ways, but many of us have conquered liver mets, following different paths.

I was stage iv at diagnosis, and it was a liver biopsy that confirmed that status. But the liver mets are long gone now. They responded completely to what was then the standard of care for stage iv, three months of weekly Taxol and Herceptin (though I switched from Taxol to Abraxane due to an allergic reaction.)

As StephN said, there are many tools available now, and much reason to hope. CoolBreeze, after multiple chemos and even surgery, is now NED on Herceptin and Perjeta. The only detectable mets she had were in her liver.

A friend in my in-person support group also presented at stage iv, with liver mets. She then got brain mets--almost 4 years ago. She's been stable on Herceptin and Tykerb.

Hang in there. Let us know what you find out.

4/29/11 CT scan shows suspicious lesions on liver and lungs
5/17/11 liver biopsy
5/24/11 liver met confirmed--Stage IV at diagnosis
5/27/11 Begin weekly Taxol & Herceptin for 3 months (standard of care at the time of my DX)
7/18/11 Switch to weekly Abraxane & Herceptin due to Taxol allergy
8/29/11 CT scan shows no new lesions & old lesions shrinking
9/27/11 Finish Abraxane. Start Herceptin every 3 weeks. Begin taking Arimidex
10/17/11--Brain MRI--No Brain mets
12/5/11 PET scan--Almost NED
5/15/12 PET scan shows progression-breast/chest/spine (one vertebra)
5/22/12 Stop taking Arimidex; stay on Herceptin
6/11/12 Started Tykerb and Herceptin on clinical trial (w/no chemo)
9/24/12 CT scan--No new mets. Everything stable.
3/11/13 CT Scan--two small new possible mets and odd looking area in left lung getting larger.
4/2/13--Biopsy of suspicious area in lower left lung. Mets to lung confirmed.
4/30/13 Begin Kadcyla/TDM-1
8/16/13 PET scan "mixed," with some areas of increased uptake, but also some definite improvement, so I'll stay on TDM-1/Kadcyla.
11/11/13 Finally get hormone receptor results from lung biopsy of 4/2/13. My cancer is no longer ER positive.
11/13/13 PET scan mixed results again. We're calling it "stable." Problems breathing on exertion.
2/18/14 PET scan shows a new lesion and newly active lymph node in chest, other progression. Bye bye TDM-1.
2/28/14 Begin Herceptin/Perjeta every 3 weeks.
6/8/14 PET "mixed," with no new lesions, and everything but lower lungs improving. My breathing is better.
8/18/14 PET "mixed" again. Upper lungs & one spine met stable, lower lungs less FDG avid, original tumor more avid, one lymph node in mediastinum more avid.
9/1/14 Begin taking Xeloda one week on, one week off. Will also stay on Herceptin and Perjeta every three weeks.
12/11/14 PET Scan--no new lesions, and everything looks better than it did.
3/20/15 PET Scan--no new lesions, but lower lung lesions larger and a bit more avid.
4/13/15 Increasing Xeloda dose to 10 days on, one week off.
7/1/15 Scan "mixed" again, but suggests continuing progression. Stop Xeloda. Substitute Abraxane every 3 weeks starting 7/13.
10/28/15 PET scan shows dramatic improvement everywhere. All lesions except lower lungs have resolved; lower lungs noticeably improved.
12/18/15 Last Abraxane. Continue on Herceptin and Perjeta alone beginning 1/8/16.
1/27/16 PET scan shows cancer is stable.
5/11/16 PET scan shows uptake in some areas that were resolved on the last two scans.
6/3/16 Begin Kadcyla and Tykerb combination
6/5 - 6/23 Horrible diarrhea from K&T together. Got pneumonia.
7/15/16 Begin Kadcyla only every 3 weeks.
9/6/16 Begin radiation therapy on right lung lesion that caused the pneumonia.
10/3/16 Last of 12 radiation treatments to right lung.
11/4/16 Huffing and puffing, low O2, high heart rate, on tiniest bit of exertion. Diagnosed as radiation pneumonitis. Treated with Prednisone.
11/11/16 PET scan shows significant improvement to radiated part of right lung BUT a bunch of new lung lesions, and the bone met is getting worse.
11/22/16 Begin Eribulin and Herceptin. H every 3 weeks. E two weeks on, one week off.
3/6/17 Scan shows progression in lungs. Bone met a little better.
3/23/17 Lung biopsy. Tumor sampled is ER-, PR+ (5%), HER2+++. Getting Herceptin and Perjeta as a maintenance treatment.
5/31/17 Port placement
6/1/17 Start Navelbine & Tykerb
