Anyone else with extensive, innumerable liver mets? How has your journey gone? Warmly, Polly

Hi Polly,
Sorry to hear your news. I have had 2 large Liver Mets about 19cm each which were discovered Nov 2013 after a scan following Skin metastasis, following my initial chemo and Radiotherapy for Her2+ Early Breast cancer. I was placed on Abraxane for 3 treatments and then I was lucky enough to be approved for a trial of Kadcyla ( now on the PBS ). I have this 3weekly and I am up to my 48th cycle on Wednesday. My most recent scans show only shadows where the liver mets were which is great. Although I have had a recurrence on my Skin, which was surgically removed the chemo is keeping the cancer under control and the side effects so far are manageable. I know that eventually I will either become resistant to this chemo or have toxicity but while it is working I am living the best I can.
not sure if you your cancer is the same but hopefully there is a positive treatment out there for you as well.
Take care and all the best
Michelle
