Anyone diagnosed with skin cancer in lungs, but no skin lesions?

Yes treatment options have been discussed. They started me on immunotherapy. I did two treatments and the tumor grew more and my breathe got worse. So they stopped the immunotherapy and decided to do lung ablation on October 6th. We rescanned about 2 months later and the tumor has shrink. So the doctors had decided to do another lung ablation on January 20th to shrink more and/ or kill it out. With my lung condition I was not a candidate for chemotherapy, or radiation. Also I have Pneumoconiosis, COPD, bronchitis and now Melanoma Lung Cancer

@headsaid12: I totally understand. Although my lung nodule responded well to initial treatment, I also had to stop immunotherapy recently due to toxicity issues. Fortunately, there can be alternatives.
In your case, it seems the ablation seems to be working well. Can you let me know how the next procedure on the 20th goes? Wishing you well.
