Has anyone taken chemo or targeted medicines during SRS radiosurgery. I am on SRS for five days for five lesions. I started yesterday and will continue till next Wednesday. I am currently on Xeloda, Afinitor, tykerb, Herceptin and zometa for cancer in lungs, liver and bones which is active. My MO and RO both said there is not enough data for chemo or targeted theraphy during extended SRS radiosurgery and I was in new territory. They do withhold all treatment during WBR. They have said it was my choice as there was insufficient data. I do not like making this decision but will probably continue. If any one has experience with this or advise, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.
