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!
I have had SBRT twice and appreciate your post. My next scan is in Oct. so if I need the treatment again your comments will help me make a decision to go for a third round. Thank you!
@armycolonel - Good morning, Colonel. I'm sorry that I missed your post yesterday. My husband was in the army, also.
I'm sorry for your diagnosis I know the feeling very well told that you have lung cancer. It's like a shot through the heart. I am a 26 (next month) year survivor of lung cancer and have had SBRT three times. Sometimes SBRT is suggested for small, easy-to-access -tumors.
I imagine that you have CT and PET scans. What kind of cancer do you have?
