Re: Bad Pet. I need you.
I am so sorry you have had bad news. You have not had chemo for awhile - just targeted therapies. See if you can change to a different antihormonal (change from Aromosin to Femara or Arimidex or Faslodex). Make sure you stay on the Herceptin and add a chemo - perhaps Taxotere or Abraxane or something entirely different than a taxane.
There are alot of things to try - or look at a trial of some type. Now that you can breathe, you can also think and act and I know you will. You have good instincts and have done alot of the right things already. You will this time too.
