Anyone had Concurrent Radiation and Chemo Therapies?

@andycapp I had Aliya 9n June 29. It is basically a bronchoscopy with biopsies and lavage. They get immediate analysis. If malignant they then use Aliya, which is pulsed electric field ablation. I had no side effects. The Dr was optimistic that it worked but we won't know until early October when I'll have a ct to see if the nodule is gone.
I found the procedure from an Ai search and was very lucky that one of the trial doctors was at my local hospital. I then checked with my regular pulmonologist and oncologist and they agreed.
You might want to check with your doctors to see where Aliya is used.
For me, it was wonderful, since I already had a lobectomy and wedge, as well as chemo and immunotherapy. I had been misdiagnosed with intrapulmonary metastasis and recently found that I actually have multifocal primary lung cancer. So I most likely with have additional nodules show up. I would never hesitate to do Aliya again. There's no loss of lung function and pretty much just the normal risk of a bronchoscopy.

@ladylennie thank you. I will talk with my oncologist about this procedure. I’m not too excited about possibly going through with radiology again since it results in additional and possibly ongoing fibrosis.
