Bejuce,
It is possible to progress while undergoing treatment. That said, I'd like to remind you that Herceptin and Tykerb cause their fair share of irritation to our throats, eyes, sinuses, etc. I have had my worst year ever for allergies since being on Herceptin. I do notice that I have a cough for a few days post infusion sometimes. My lungs just feel "itchy" after an infusion sometimes, though not always. I'm betting you are having some kind of reaction to the drugs, but you really do need to check it out for peace of mind.
Please post again to let us know how your xray turned out!
