I was going to ask you about the proton radiation. My oncologist just mentioned the stereotactic so guess I might not be able to have it here or even get it. I'm not looking forward to this as I have COPD also,, plus other issues and not able to have any surgery. I had all my other treatment for lung cancer at Mayo but been going here at Sioux Falls. To me its a never win situation........ put onefoot forward, don't look back, and be thankful for each day you have.... I will check about proton radiation here, as I have no idea........ Thanks......

I am at Mayo Rochester and they gave me SBRT not proton for my lung nodule-3 sessions. I am in the Twin Cities so am close enough to keep going there for anything related to lung.
I have had two VAT surgeries but can't have any more as would lose too much lung function. I don't have COPD but do have pulmonary fibrosis so am going on portable and night oxygen now. If I sit on my sofa and watch TV I don't have a problem...but that is not healthy is it?
I consider myself lucky because I only got cancer at age 80. I am still independent, flexible and not in pain. As long as I have solutions I am happy
