I would talk first with your

I would talk first with your oncologist and a reputable alternative medicine physician. I would be very nervous about starting this alternative because of the link to a Parkinson's like permanent neurological disorder. I don't mind trying harmless alternative meds, but this one scares me.

I wish you the very best and

I wish you the very best and am praying for you. I have had mets for 8 years, first in lung and ribs and now in liver. I appear to be in remission again today.

My mets was re-biopsied both times. Both times the tumor changed: original ER and PR pos, her2 not available (1987); ribs ER+, PR neg, her2 neg; liver ER and PR neg, Her2 pos. Go figure! I wonder if your mom had another biopsy?

It is much easier to treat a known vs an unknown. I didn't want chemo again, but, when I found out about the her2 + status, I went for it. My markers and liver enzymes are normal and last PET scan was free of liver mets activity. I will be on herceptin and perjeta as long as they work. Taxotere was hell for me; I hit many ugly side effects, including having to be hospitalized. But it is done and I am getting better.

Sending big hugs and prayers to you both.
