I did not have this, but my Aunt did at 77. At 83 she was still Cancer free. Please make sure you talk with your doctor about the effects the particular type of radiation they chose. What effect will it have on your good lung tissue. Scarring, etc. A lot of people, including myself, were ready to jump at the pinpoint radiation, but my doctor told me that cutting it out had the highest cure rate. However, due to lung or heart situations, some can only opt for radiation. Just saying, so you can be clear on your choices and the best outcomes. Whatever the choice your Doctor and you agree on, I pray for your Successful outcome and Speedy recovery!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
