Pam,
That's sure not the kind of news you needed to hear. You must be on over load by now. Do you have a family member that could do some calling around for you about getting into the T-DM1 trial once you're finished with your rads? (This way you could rest and have some options waiting for you when your finished with radiation.) Your onc will probably add something back to the Tykerb once you finish rads...but I'm sure he will hold off for the time being. That would be too hard on your body. I wish we could all come over and help you in some way. Sending warm thoughts and prayers your way.
