Merry,

I didn't know you have another lesion. Is there a chance its just a lesion and not cancerous? I just get so disappointed to hear I have another one but I'm so thankful the y90 treatments keep working.

What treatment path will you follow if it has grown?

Praying blessings on you. Keep us posted.

Diane

Diane- I have what is called multifocal adenocarcinoma lung cancer. All the lesions are considered primary so there isn't, as we know it, metastasis. But I don't get off that easily because it means that this cancer causes lots of lesions to grow. Some grow and keep growing into cancer and some stay the same and some disappear. It's indolent cancer and when it grows it usually begins as ground glass and then changes.

My next CT will tell if my GG has changed and grown. This will be my 6th lung cancer. My treatment of choice, based on many conversations and research is SBRT. It's targeted radiation that minimizes damage to surrounding tissue and other organs. This would be my 3rd. Fatigue would be the major side effect and possible skin burns (not serious). I had a slight sunburn on my back the last time. But it wasn't painful. That was 5 years ago.

Thank you for your kind concern.

I am glad that your y90 treatments work for you. There have been so many advances in cancer treatments that spin the brain! But in a good way.

Merry
