Multifocal Adenocarcinoma of the lung, continual recurrences

Diagnosed May 3023 with multi focal lung adenocarcinoma-RUL and LLL both stage 1A with several GGO- I was not eligible for surgery - had SBRT to 3 spots. 1 year later SBRT to 2 more spots and then another round 6 months later. Last scan showed spots on 2 ribs. Biopsy showed lung adenocarcinoma. Waiting for biomarkers to determine next steps. Will move forward with SBRT for ribs. Biomarkers on first tumors biopsied at diagnosis were different. The hope at diagnosis was it could be controlled - quite the opposite for me. What has been chemo experiences? I’m terrified.

@sheland1, You've already had your share of radiation. I'm glad to hear that they are running biomarker tests on your biopsy tissue. It's the best way to match a treatment to the specific type of cancer. It may not mean that you are headed for traditional chemotherapy. Of course, you are worried, but try not to get ahead of the diagnosis too.
Has your oncologist mentioned the possibility of chemo? Or are they waiting for the biomarker tests to come back?
