I see that you are from San Francisco. Have you consulted with the gamma/cyberknife people at UCSF as to whether your tumors are too numerous or large to consider treating them that way.

I have met Penny Sneed,MD a radiation oncologist who I believe specializes in the gamma/cyberknife treatment of brain mets from primarily breast cancer among other metastatic diseases and is listed with Breast Cancer Clinic at UCSF. Perhaps she could also discuss with you whether any of her her2+ patients have been treated with intrathecal herceptin and/or Boswellia and/or Tykerb either before or after her treatments and how they have fared.
