Im wondering was your liver cancer detected by PET Scan? Did you have a liver biopsy?
I just had my first AC treatment to be followed by Taxol then Herceptin at what point were you rescanned to see if the liver is responding?
Thanks so much

Hi Deb, I just found this
Hi Deb, I just found this post. My first pet scan found 2 lesions on my liver. I did not have a liver biopsy. I then went through 12 weeks of taxol and herceptin, and then herceptin every 3 weeks for a year. I was scanned again after the taxol and herceptin treatment, which was last October--at that time there was no abnormalities identified and positive response to therapy. That is exactly what the report said. I was rescanned last month, with the same outcome. You will probably be scanned again after your treatment is done, and I am sure that you will have a good response with this treatment. I would not really consider it liver cancer, my first Pet Scan found 2 lesions, 1 on the right lobe with a value of 3.2 and one on the left lobe with a value of 4.2. This makes no sense to me, but I thought you could compare it to your report. Please let me know how you are doing, I know how frightening it all is, but these drugs are wonderful.0
