You can read my entire story here: http://www.butdoctorihatepink.com. The short version? August of 2009, I was diagnosed with HER2+ breast cancer. I had a unilateral mastectomy, and then did six rounds of taxotere and carboplatin. Due to neuropathy, halfway through we switched to taxol. I also did a year of herceptin. Unfortunately, May of 2011 I was diagnosed with metastatic spread to the liver. I began Navelbine, Zometa and Herceptin. However, I was very fortunate for two reasons: cancer was only in my liver, and my oncologist knew a surgeon willing to do a liver resection to try to remove it. October 3rd, 2011, I had the left lobe of my liver removed, and a spot in the right lobe ablated. I now consider myself to be cancer-free.
