Good luck, I am curious to hear what he says.
I had pneumonitis with just one round of SBRT (3 sessions) and the Radiation Oncologist did mention ablation as a possibility in the future.

Hi. I spoke with my oncologist this morning, he's going to talk with my radiologist about the possibility of using ablation. He also stated that he didn't feel we were in a "danger zone" by treating the current 14mm nodule with radiation again, although he said it would be her call in the long run. We also discussed the possibility of using Keytruda in the future, and he clarified that although most of his patients who have the PD-L1 biomarker have seen more improvement with that immunotherapy drug, he's also seen improvement in patients that don't have it. So that was kind of encouraging.
