Vic- Excellent explanation. My Oncologist said that treating this type of cancer is like a whac-a-mole. Kind of not encouraging yet not too bad either. I've had lung cancer for 25 years with a 10 yr break between my first and second. When the second hit my cancer had changed. There were three different lesions of three different sizes all in my left upper left lung. My latest one was treated at MGH (Mass General) with SBRT. I had two right next to each other and very near my heart. I feel good too.

I have had another larger one for many years in my lower left lobe. It's barely grown in more than 5 years or more. I seem not to pay attention too much to size and location after having so many lesions. It holds me back from living the best life that I have at this moment. But this is me. I'm sure that a lot of it is my emotional defense system. Everyone is so different in the way they handle cancer.

How are you doing?
