    I'm sorry to hear about your Mom's diagnosis.  I think the first thing you need to know is whether this is a recurrance and also if the hormone and her2 status are the same as the orignial bc. 

    This will have a large bearing on treatment and what is offered.  Avastin has had great success with some liver mets and I know many ladies who have done this treatment and the tumour's have shrunk.

    Sorry I can't help more but my best to you and your Mom:)
