My husband also has colon cancer with mets to both lungs. Chemo did not decrease his nodules and the side effects were rough also.
They sent us to cyberknife . He is having biopsy and they will place markers for the cyberknife. Have you heard of or tried it?
I have not heard of the ablative radiation. Is he having good days? Keep us posted xoxo

Hello @lah. Yes, I’ve heard of cyberknife. It was used often at our hospital In Colorado. It is a modified version of radiation therapy. The beam of radiation os very narrowed and can be focused on the specific problem tissue. Nothing else should be affected. Good luck and the best to your husband
