Dear Lisa,
I also have mets in the liver and the bones, and am currently living well almost 3 years after Stage IV diagnosis.
I can understand your anger, confusion and pain. It is important to remember the situation is nobody's fault - shit happens! Also that this is not a death sentence, there are many treatment options available and many of us manage as if living with a chronic disease. There is no point beating yourself up about what has happened and acceptance will come.
You are clearly Her2+ and there have been excellent clinical trial results from Kadcyla, which is a targetted therapy and so relatively easy to handle.
Best wishes for successful treatment..... Pam
