I’m sure you’ve reacted when I had previous posts awhile back. I had the Desmoplastic Melonoma on my head removed and ok. 2 years coming up this Nov. then this spring I had aPET Scan and they found a tumour on my upper left lung beside the aorta, and one on the lower left lung beside a lymph node. I had opted to get new treatment so that I could have quality of life, as my health was excellent, so in March after the specialist had talk to me and I asked him what I had left he said months to a year and possibly more because I was in good health, so now it is August and I am walking a lot which I love but starting to get tired and breathing worse. They did another scan and the upper one has grown substantially and I have a new one on my back just above the tailbone. The cancer doctor wants to do radiation to help my breathing last longer by doing 10 weeks of stronger radiation. This would be every day. He says that I would have a slight burn on my back, and that the oesophagus would be affected so that it would be painful to swallow water, food, etc. my biggest problem now is to try and find out what kind of reactions others have had with this type of radiation and to be honest I’m not sure that I want to do it. I have opted for quality rate from the beginning and I would rather be pain-free and do what I want to do for a little bit of time that I would have left. I have already filled out my maid form so I can pick my time.
I would be appreciative of any information that could possibly help me one way or the other. Thank you so much.
