Don Wood Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 We went to see the onc today. The MRI confirmed the PET finding that her liver is now involved, as well as the numerous bone mets. So the Navelbine/Gemzar combo is right for this situation. She has had one cycle and already the pain in the abdomen near the liver has diminished some. She will have six cycles of this chemo. So far, she is doing pretty well with it. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
