Hello @rickjudy2012, I'm sorry to hear that you are facing radiation. These links may be helpful regarding SBRT (Stereotactic body radiotherapy):

Was your nodule identified through a screening exam? Have other tests been ordered, possibly a biopsy or PET scan?

Thank you from r sharing the article about SBRT. It was very interesting & comprehensive enough to inform me about what to expect.
I had a PET/CT scan on 8-15-25. I was as told that because of my age & severe COPD that a biopsy would be very risky.
I’ll see what is recommended after the test results are analyzed & I hear from the doctors.
Thank you again for the helpful information.
