Has anyone here had the liver covered with mets. What treatment did they do? My husband has done Interferon, IL2, Taxol/Carbo, Cisplatin/dacarbazine/carmustine, and Yervoy; all these treatments failed. He is not eligible for any clinical trials because of his kidneys failing and his HGB is always under 10 (he has sideroblastic anemia). He is also Braf negative. He also has multiple tumors in his lungs, abdomen, leg, and they suspect throat. Dr is going to start him on Temadar/Thalidomide – what I have found so far on the internet it looks like this is mor

Dr is going to start him on Temadar/Thalidomide – what I have found so far on the internet it looks like this is more for brain mets; which as far as we know he doesn't have. Haven't checked the brain in several months. Last visit we asked the Dr. how long he thought Larry might have and he said 6 months to 1 year but don't count on the year. He basically moves from the bed to the chair and the bathroom and that is it. He was somewhat active until a couple months ago and now it is all he can do to force himself to move.

I have a friend of a friend who had mets throughout her liver. She went to U of Michigan and had her liver removed and soaked in "mustard gas" and then replaced. This was over a year ago. Last I heard her liver was fine. I will have to check with our mutual friend to see how she is doing.
