Cathy,
I want you to know a friend of mine had her cancer return in her lungs after 16 years. She Was triple positive too, (now only Er positive). That's been four years ago and doing great! She still has mets in her lungs but they're smaller and she's had no progression elsewhere. There are many success stories and Many treatments available.
I'm wishing you the best!
