I think Dr. Pegram may have a trial of Avastin with Herceptin. Also, read previously posted her2group post on lapatinib--in a group of patients previously treated with four chemo regimens for a variety of solid tumors (breast cancer included), half responded to lapatinib with stable diseas. That might not sound like much, but it might buy you time for other therapies to become available. Perhaps ask the group if anyone is on a lapatinib trial.

Also, see if you can get your tumor tested for EGFR (her1) and see if there could be a trial for Tarceva (and/or Iressa if it is still available for trials in breast cancer)

Good luck!
