Hi Doug,
I was diagnosed in February 2020 with multifocal lung cancer. I had an upper left lobectomy at that time followed by four rounds of chemotherapy as a preventative measure. At the time I was living in North Carolina. Since then I have moved to Canada and seven months ago had upper right and lower right wedge resections (at the same time) removing four nodules. These nodules have been there since the beginning and were very very slowly changing so we decided to get ahead of it and do the surgery. I have one other nodule in lower left with mild metabolic activity that we are watching but so far it’s stable. I have several other nodules that show no activity in a PET scan. I have no lymph node involvement nor distant metastasis. I am in a wait and watch mode with my medical oncology team while doing therapies with a naturopathic oncologist to try to keep things stable. (High dose vitamin C and Mistletoe infusions every other week and daily supplementation)

I got word from my oncologist yesterday that my radiologist did agree to radiating the current nodule. But we found another nodule on Tuesday's PET scan that had some slight metabolic activity as well, so it looks like that's going to be another one to deal with in the future. I don't know if Canada is incorporating immunotherapies or targeted therapies in their treatments, but has your oncologist considered that?
