Sherry,
It is very important you stop loosing weight.
Ask your onc if you can take Omega 3 fish oil pills or L-glutamine which have been shown to be effective in many cases against weight loss.

Acemitophen (Tylenol or Atasol) in high doses is toxic to the liver & may be a cause of your yellow skin colour. NAcetyl L-Cysteine (NAC) pills can be taken with Acemitophen to prevent liver damage (check with your onc but NAC pills can be procured without prescription).

Once you are stabilized you should be able to benefit from Tykerb.
Good luck.
