I have had 1 nodule treated by regular radiation and 2treated with SBRT since 2017 at Mayo. Also had breast cancer with lumpectomy and treated with radiation. All on right side. I’m scheduled for Ablation for 3 more cancerous nodules in right lung on Tuesday at Mayo because I cannot have more radiation in same area. My ablation is being done by bronchoscopy. Nervous but hopeful.

That is very interesting. Ablation by bronchoscopy is new. I have had photon SBRT and had radiation induced pneumonitis. Now cannot do more of it so I am scheduled for proton SBRT.

My ablation has been postponed. All 3 nodules have gotten a bit smaller (I didn’t think that was possible) so we decided to do more investigating. I also found out I was to have PEF ablation which I believe is brand new. I’ll keep you posted. Confused!
