Stage Iv Liver Cancer/Longevity?

Subject: Stage IV Liver Cancer/Longevity?
Date: 01/08/2007

I was diagnosed 13 months ago with stage IV liver cancer.  Previously in 97 I was treated for breast cancer.  I've been getting chemotherapy for the last 9 months.  I'm now on the fourth kind of chemo.  This last one seems to be working.  It's getting rid of the "freckles" in my liver and making the remaining "freckles" smaller.  I have two more treatments of Adryamicin, then another Cat Scan.  If the "freckles" are all gone, I may be put on a "sister" chemo or hormone  pill (Femora), as I have had a blood clot.  My questions is if all the freckles are gone and I'm on hormonal pills, what is the life expectancy?  I've heard 15% chance of living for 5 years!!!!!!  IS THAT TRUE?????  If anybody has any answers or input, please respond! PS: it's really hard to keep the weight off with all the pre-meds!!!!
