Just in case you may not be fully aware, lung mets from breast cancer are very much different from lung cancer. The mortality rate of lung cancer is very high but that of breast mets is much much lower. Lung mets are treatable as evidence from many ladies on this forum. Therefore, you case is totally different from those of your parents. Stay positive, the strong chemo combinations plus herceptin will be the magic bullets for you. Good luck.
