@meka wishes to share her message, which came to me via a PM:
Hi, just to let you know, over here at Mayo (Rochester) for my 6th month check. Had CT, then PET, pulmonary check. One of my "spots" has increased since September, but so close to previous surgery it would pose other problems. Want me to go through targeted short course radiation treatment. Appointment Monday for consultation. Am not prepared for a longer stay and by myself again. Will move to Centerstone Plaza tomorrow where I can cook and take the shuttle this weekend to thrift store and grocery store..
No pity party intended, just always come prepared. I packed for three quick days. Everyone is impressed with how good I look compared to last September, am off everything except sertraline and blood pressure. Head wise okay, but already miss my Summitt and Bumpkin so much!! Will continue to try keeping up with the walking group. Haven't been getting posts from multi focal group.. maybe there is someone who has had this treatment????

@meka - Good morning, It looks like your multi-focal is traveling the normal route. Somehow our lungs just love making these. After my second operation, I have had 2 targeted radiations. One was proton beam surgery (it is radiation) and photon radiation. They are a breeze and can get to places when surgeries can't be done. Here are my two stories if you care to read them.

@merpreb just saw this. I will be traveling up to Rochester next week for my CT scan on the 19th. That is where I had my SBRT done in September. Sending you positive vibes that all goes well. It was actually so much better than I expected. Did experience a tightness feeling above my chest which lasted for probably 4 months. I am hoping all is well and I won’t need any mor radiation for the area they are following.
