Multifocal Adenocarcinoma of the lung, continual recurrences

Merry,
I'm curious as to why you are waiting til June or after to receive SBRT.? Or do they want to see if there is a change during that period ?
For me, Pulmonary rehab has not been mentioned. I was given a Pulmonary Function Test prior to both surgeries and results were good. After both surgeries, I was encouraged to periodically use the provided Spirometer. My wedge surgery was two months ago and the sprirometer shows I'm back to pre-surgery levels. Through all of this , a Pulmonary specialist has not been mentioned or recommended . I'll have to ask the oncologist at my next followup. Thanks

Good morning Stan- Due to the amount of lung tissue that I have left, because of my past lung cancers my team waits until it's absolutely necessary, without doing a biopsy, that my lesions will grow and need to be removed. Quite a sentence, eh? 🙂 I don't mind because if I wait until June, as my lungs heal from the radiation I won't be able to be very active. And during the summer months in NE, it's very humid and I have to stay in for the most part anyway!
