Liver, peritoneal carcinomatosis and ascites with bone mets

AAM

Dear all,

Any insight of how we will cope with this? Liver mets and peritoneal carcinomatosis that has worsened 2 years from diagnosis with stage 4 breast cancer( IDC with bone, liver, ovarian mets).

We live in Kuwait and doctors here seem to say that we have exhausted most chemotherapy and hormonal therapy might take too long to work.

Ascites needs to be drained nearly biweekly and what with the leg swelling too..getting out of bed alone is hard work.

Any tips on good centres in USA that can deal with this stage of MBC and help please?

Chemo tried: Taxol,EC, halaven

Hormonal therapy: tamoxifen, xeloda

Radiotherapy too.

Thank you all.

Hi AAM, just a quick note to suggest you repeat your post in the stage 4 forum. Specifically there is a thread devoted to peritoneal carcinamatosis where you can find valuable information.
