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.

Because I have pulmonary fibrosis as well as multifocal cancer, future treatments must be weighed against the risk of new pneumonitis and the significant impact it could have on my quality of life. Any treatment is now a risk for me. I am already on oxygen for sleep and exertion.
I had two wedge resections and would not mind doing another one, but not possible. I prefer cutting them out because then they are gone, and can be identified
