Metastatic breast cancer: Anyone else?

I have been posting in another area but also wanted to post here because I have just found out I have been diagnosed with metastatic cancer to a lymph node in porta hepatic area. I had laparoscopic biopsy to confirm this week. The path report states positive for metastatic carcinoma of porta hepatis lymph node positive for GATA3 and CK7. It also states benign with no metastatic carcinoma in liver wedge resection. This leads me to believe it is not in the liver itself but confined to the lymph node that is attached to the porta hepatic area which are blood vessels which feed the liver and other organs. But I will need to speak with oncologist for clarification. It is confusing.
Can anyone share what types of treatment they are on for metastatic breast cancer to liver or lymph nodes?
I had invasive lobular carcinoma of breast in 2013. I had double mastectomy with 8 rounds of chemo and 5 years of AI. I was ER positive at 80% and HEr2 negative. I always knew there was a high risk of return so here I am ready to do whatever it takes to live .

I was diagnosed metastatic Estrogen & Her2 positive breast cancer in lymph nodes, sternum, spine, liver and other areas. I completed 6 chemotherapy treatments of Taxotere Herceptin & Perjeta. Am currently on Herceptin only because heart function keeps declining because chemotherapy 10 years ago cause congestive heart failure and I have been on in heart meds since 2013. I was to start Herceptin & Perjeta but Heart Ejection fraction is around 38% oncology cardiologist has me only doing Herceptin.
