Good Morning all. The other shoe has dropped. After a few years of just having CT scans and checking my lungs every 3 - 6 months Now things have changed and I have two spots one in each lung that are growing. I will have a PET scan next to see if any more things show up. From there I go to radiation...... do they do both at the same time, do they do first one and then do the next. Surgery is out of the question for me due to other health issues. My next thought in my mind is that I am 80 years old, live in assisted living now, and wondering if my body can withstand the radiations treatments. Do I say forget it and I will live my life as best as I can. I am diabetic, have congestive heart failure, copd to name a few. My daughters and I will have to discuss this. My husband has passed away. So its the three of us. Thanks for listening and and May the Lord keep everyone safe in His arms.

Your Radiation Oncologist should explain potential side effects. I am 83 and last August I had 3 sessions SBRT for RUL (2 nodules). It is painless. I did develop radiation-induced pneumonitis two months later and took Prednisone for that. I have Pulmonary Fibrosis.
