I have kind of asked about palliative care but haven't looked into it fully. Guess I will. Have made my decision or at least think I have but then another thought comes into my mind. My last thought was wait 3 months then have another pet scan and if spot in my left lung has grown then will have both issues taken care of by radiation......, then today I think, ok my right lung has had a wedge taken, middle lobe taken and radiation treatment, so will have more radiation make it a lot worse.....My left lung has had some radiation. and if my one lymph node proves definitely for cancer then I am going to have nothing none,. Things get complicated as you get older . Surgery is out of the question and have many other health issues. If anyone has any bright ideas, let me know, because my mind is getting bogged down. Prayers and blessings to all of you.........Joan

Definitely look into proton radiation. There is less damage to surrounding tissue than with stereotactic radiation.

Also, patients who add palliative care in the US tend to live longer with better quality of life. They tend to have fewer hospitalizations and med errors.
