Treatment for metastasis to the lungs?

I had metastasis to my lungs. Treated with gemcitabine & abraxane for 44 treatments; 4 months off and now have had 12 more treatments. My lung nodules have been stable with the gemcitabine & abraxane even with the 4-month break. I have the KRAS G12D and TP 53 genes.

That’s a lot of treatments! Over how many years was the course of your 44 treatments? So good to hear your nodules are stable. Did you ever consider the MRIdean radiation on those nodules? Yes, bronchoscopy was rough, I don’t think I would recommend other cancer patients to go forward with one especially if you already have underlying respiratory issues like I do. Although, my nodules didn’t look characteristic of typical cancer nodules (morphology) I was told; so I guess it was good to know one way or the other.
