Hi @lovey529. I do have lung cancer, but have been able to avoid radiation, so I don't have first-hand experience.
Others in our group may be able to help; @bpb.
I'm sure you've done some reading already. This is fairly generic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/radiation-therapy/about/pac-20385162
When are you scheduled to begin? Do you know what type of radiation they'll be using?

My Oncologist is doing a PET scan in October to find out further info. Meanwhile, I have an appt with Moffitt in July. Meeting with the surgeon that removed my RUL for his opinion on what I should do.

Not until October. Wants to do PET scan than radiation. Have no idea what type of radiation yet.
Thank you
