Marcia is right that there may be some info there but there may be more under stomach cancer as these tumors tend to be mets from gastric cancer more than breast cancer.
Remember - this is NOT ovarian cancer. These tumors are only a secondary cancer that are mets from elsewhere - in your case from your breast cancer. Therefore, you should receive the same treatment one might get who develops mets to the lungs, bones, liver - the more common mets sites. Think of it in those terms and discuss with your onc if Herceptin, taxanes (plus the Faslodex you are on) are of use. I would imagine they would be.
