What should I do?

I am so confuse. I was diagonis met to pleural effussion in Aug 2004. I had several thoracentesis and differnt hormonal therapy. March 2006 met to rib bone and start zometa and herceptin. The last two thorcacentesis was bloody and I was told the cancer is eating away the lining. January 2007 mets to liver. Now I am willing to do chemo and the doctor want let me. He want to try diffrent horm therapy and he want to control the bleeding and less side effects. That is true, I been on so many horm thepary, herceptin, zometa and the cacncer is spread. Do you think it is time for me to do chemo or my Onc isn't telling me something.
