    I, too, was just diagnosed with liver mets that are triple negative.  Original tumors were ER+.  It was devastating to hear, but there is hope!  Take a few days to try to digest the news and then pick yourself up and get started again.  I started Xeloda 4 days ago and have heard and seen many encouraging posts here as well as at web MD.  You can do this!!!  Keep on fighting the good fight!!
