Anyone had radiation of the lung? What were the side effects? Results?

I had a right nodule. 4 treatments total 1 daily on a Tuesday to Friday about 30 minutes each. Very easy. Painless. Mild fatigue for a week after. No big deal.

@espiritu56 I agree that the actual radiation treatment is easy. Lie down on the table, then get up and walk away. However, complication can arise many months after the radiation, so it is important to pay attention. I developed pneumonitis 10 weeks after my first treatment. 2.5 years later I had new radiation treatment and have developed neuropathic pain which fortunately has much improved with medication.
