Hi all,

Thanks for the good wishes & info, which I can count on in this group!
It never occurred to me that chemo-type drugs could be given during radiation. I will ask my doctor about xeloda. Is Tykerb usually given with that?

That's also interesting about Taxol helps sensitive rogue cancer cells for radiation. I was looking into getting it after radiation, but this sounds like it should be before. Has anyone received it during radiation?
