Hope, my heart goes our to you. It sounds like your onc is failing you more than your body is.........change doctors!! For your onc to say quit chemo if you want means he's kissing you off, lapatinib or no lapatinib. Navelbine has been shown to be very effective with herceptin for lung mets and has a resistance recovery time of about 6 months, ie, if you've has it before past 6 months ago then it may work again just as effectively again. No scans with rising liver counts?..........I think it is time to change and please do it before you are too tired to. What about Genentec and pertuzumab?

Anything I can do.........Al
