I was so sorry to hear about your rotten news. What a horrible shock it must be for you.
There ARE treatments for liver secondaries, as your onc has told you. I have liver secondaries and have just finished Taxol + Avastin, which seems to have worked well.
There are non-chemo treatments, too. I don’t know a great deal about them, as I’m fairly new to secondaries, too.
I’m sure some of the more experienced liver mets ladies will soon post here and give you some more support.
Hang on in there. I’m sure you will feel a little better when you know what your treatment will be, and the ball starts rolling.
Hoping for good things for you on Monday. Keep in touch, won’t you?
