Hi Laura,
First of all, you are at the beginning of your fight, not anywhere near the end. I know it's scary - I had liver mets that responded well to the carbo/tax/herc combo and I had a complete remission. However, my mets came back within 4 months. So it's aggressive - I get it - but we can be too.
I also thought that I would have been considered "failed" on herceptin, but my onc kept me on it and added a different chemo because it is felt that the herceptin has synergestic effects with many different chemos. And so it begins again. Try to think of it as a chronic disease, we will try different regimens, some will work, others won't but there are LOTS of treatment options out there and better therapies are on the way.
So try to breathe! Hug your kids, kiss your husband, have your pity party (you deserve it) then pick yourself up and start the fight again, sister! You know you can do it!
Sending good thoughts your way,
Donna
