The right words to saycindycflynn said:Dear Heidi
I'm so sorry to hear your news, and of course I am sending hugs, healing thoughts and prayers your way.
As Sally said, try not to get too discouraged by predictions of time. Nothing is decided, and many women have beaten the odds, and we all hope and pray that you will be in that number. You certainly deserve to be, brave sister.
Love, Stregth, and Hugs,
Cindy
The right words to say escape me too Heidi. Just know that you will be in my prayers.
Hugs and love,

What a shoke for you.Moopy23 said:Still Hoping
Heidi, you have been in my thoughts all day today. I am so sorry. Your oncologist and Meena's, and any other IBC experts can surely find a treatment plan that will work for you and do some blasting on the d____d cancer. MD Anderson also has an IBC center, and I'm sure your onc. is talking to specialists there. So, please keep hoping as I am for you to have better days. I am also praying that you have received medicine that is controlling your pain better.
Heidi,
I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through. Hang onto hope and expect a miracle. No one can predict what the future holds for any of us. We are not a statistic. Hugs.

I know from what Meena hassal314 said:So, So Sorry...
it truly sucks! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Have you looked into "Therasphere" radiation therapy for your liver mets? It's somewhat new and not available everywhere, but they are finding it to be very promising for liver cancer and liver mets. If you google "Therasphere Therapy" you should find a link to their webesite.
They place little glass beads directly into the liver through an artery in the leg. The radiation from the beads kills the liver mets without killing other healthy surrounding tissue. It's done on an outpatient bases and the side effects are minimal.
I know that they will only do it if the cancer hasn't spread too far. But you could still be a canadate even with a few mets elsewhere. It may be worth looking into as it could give you more time. As for the doctor's prognosis, remember they are only doctor's and are giving you their best guess! I have several friends that had liver mets and mets to other areas that were told they only had months, but lived for quite a bit longer!
I know it's not what anyone want to hear, but you have to keep fighting and make the most of everyday. Oh...and the doctor's should be able to control your pain! You may want to look into seeing a pain specialist. There is no reason cancer patiences have to be in pain these days.
Blessings,
Sally
I know from what Meena has said that her doctor is great, so, I am happy to know that your doctor is conferring with him.
I really don't know what to say Heidi, except how very, very sorry I am. I pray that some treatment will help you.

I am sorry to hear of this news you have received but am confident that you will do whatever it takes to keep fighting.

ASK ABOUT AVASTIN!!!!!!!!!!!
Heidi......ask your oncologist about Avastin.......It's normally used for lung, colon and brain cancer...the FDA just said it's not effective but other studies have shown it is for bc...My best friend is fighting terminal brain cancer....she has lived 15 months longer than they originally said.......she has Avastin and Carboplatin every two weeks.........it is keeping her cancer at bay......wouldn't hurt to ask your oncologist about it....
Peace, prayers and hugs to you........
