Dear Rosie,
If Al from Canada or Becky don't see your post, you may want to send them a private email asking for advice. I am also wondering if you can just get a pathology on this stubborn lung mets, you may find that it no longer has the same characteristics of your original tumor. For example if it is now overexpressing Her1 instead of Her 2, your onc may treat it differently. I think if I were in your shoes, with the limited information on your tumor that you have provided, I would get another pathology on this tumor and fly to Dr. Eric Winer at Dana Farber in Mass or Dr. Denny Slamon in LA for a second opinion.
Hang in there with us Rosie, this is an unsettling and difficult time for you...it will be hard to stay energized and focused, but you can do this. Read MADuBois's posts for some inspiration! Love and light,
Kim from CT
