  • 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

  • Hi Polly, sorry to hear that. I don’t have any mets, so can't comment on how to cope. Just wanted to jump in and send some hugs. :smile:
    Take care, Lyn
