I do not know what “multi-focal”is. I have had groundglass nodules in my lungs for many years. I did have covid in dec’21 although I don’t believe this caused the changes which occurred in each lung. Earlier this year a scan found that one in each lung developed a solid, malignancy in part of the nodule. The doctors could not confirm that these were two separate primaries or the same - leading to an ability to accurately stage the cancer. I had the 6 week chemo program in conjunction with radiation in 1 lung then had a 3 day SBRT in the other lung. A month after completing these treatments they found a new tumor and agreed to do SBRT on it - although it was not confirmed as malignant. These doctors use aggressive treatments. My next scan w/contrast is in Oct. so this is now a firm lesson in learning to live in the moment. The oncologist says I am doing exceptionally well. Guess I’ll go with this!

Honestly, I do not know.
Got Atlas cradle and tattoos today. Dr. Just called informing me 4 treatments with less radiation not to burn up chest.
