Are there any targeted therapies for Multifocal Lung Cancer?

I imagine your Radiolgist is concerned with your lung capacity. My understanding is that treatment options are based on location of nodules and lung capacity
I was diagnosed in Dec 2021 with multifocal adenocarcinoma. I have had two VAT wedge resections RUL, LUL each for one nodule. I followed with SBRT for two other nodules. Unfortunately, I had pneumonitis from radiation.
I can't do anymore surgeries due to lung capacity. They have mentioned ablation and immunotherapy. However, I also have pulmonary fibrosis and there is a risk of new pneumonitis with any option.

Hi. Like trudyhs above, has your oncologist talked to you about possible immunotherapies or targeted therapies? It sounds like you would be a perfect candidate for trying those.

Yesterday my oncologist informed me the radiologist agreed to radiating this nodule again, despite her telling me in the past it was a no-go. I wasn't looking forward to the idea of a wedge resection surgery, so it's kind of a relief.
