Ugh. Are you still on Herceptin? Are the mets Her2+? If so, add some Her2 agent in - maybe TDM1. Can they put chemo inside the uterus. I know that sounds harsh but can they? Can some targeted radiation be used to shrink the tumor by the bladder so that you can get a hysterectomy and then they put chemo in the peritinal space. That's what they do for ovarian cancer that has spread. I know my thinking out loud is alittle wacky but you also have a rare spread. I am thinking about you and if more things come to mind, I will post them.
