@mypinkheels25 I'm three weeks out from the 5 treatments..It was just fine....the treatments themselves were not painful maybe a little uncomfortable because you have to stay still and hold your breath at times...Not that long...The lungs move so they ask you to hold your breath..It was much better than I expected...As far as afterwards, side effects are cumulative and can present later..The radiation continues working for months...So far so good..I have a ct scan with contrast scheduled for June and then we will see... good luck to you.......
ps I could not have the surgery because of lung scar tissue and prior surgery..had lung cancer 31 years ago, stage 3 b inoperable..
Im extremely blessed to be here 31 years later..Wish I didn't have to deal with it again though...
