Hi, it’s been a while since I have posted but I had some news to share. My doctor thought I might be estrogen positive so he had me do a liver biopsy. And low and behold he was right. So I started verenzio and falsodex just recently. I have a lot more options now. I have been through 5 chemos in a little less than 2 years. I was estrogen positive my first two diagnoses. I hope and pray this new turn of events gives me positive results.
Verenzio is also know to cross the brain barrier and I have had brain mets twice! Once treated with cyberknife and one with whole brain radiation.
I hope everyone is doing well and had an enjoyable 4th!
I pray for my sisters and brothers with metastatic cancer.

Excellent to hear that your options have expanded. Good thought on your doctor's part to do a biopsy because we never know what can happen! Best always, Joan
No, I’m pretty sure it was my lymph nodes they biopsied and I had a bit of estrogen but not enough to use receptor medicine. I did have a liver biopsy a year ago and it was tn. I had another liver biopsy a few weeks ago and it was estrogen positive.
Barbara, I am in a similar situation with estrogen recently being found in a bone biopsy after being treated as tnbc from a previous liver biopsy. My estrogen level is less than 20%. Did your doctor tell you how much estrogen they had to find before you could be a candidate for hormonal therapy? Thank you for your help. Judy
