Her 2 metastatic lung cancer

Hi , I have been diagnosed with Her 2 metastatic lung cancer. This cancer has not responded to platinum based chemotherapy drugs or immunotherapy and although the tumour was removed by surgery, the cancer has now spread to two sites in my spine and is classed as stage 4. There is no designated treatment in the UK for HER 2 lung cancer . In the USA and EU the condition is treated with a chemotherapy drug called Enhertu but this is not as yet licenced for use by the NHS. I am exploring whether this drug is available privately in the UK although the cost is likely to be prohibitive.

Does anyone have experience of Her 2 lung cancer or been able to access Enhertu?
