I finally decided on SBRT radiation for this lung cancer after talking to both the thoracic surgeon and the radiology specialist twice getting all of ny questions answered. I have several reasons why I chose this in my case but they say it's as successful as removing the lung lobe. I had to go do a simulation the other day where they made a mold of my body and marked several areas on my body. They put me through a scanner to watch how the nodule moves around as I breathe. This will help them plan the actual treatment. The planning will last for 2 weeks and I'll get the treatment later this month. It will only require one treatment and was told that the usual side effect will most likely be some fatigue. Then will get scanned again in 3 months to make sure it's shrinking or gone away. I have my fingers crossed. I had to go do a simulation the other day where they made a mold of my body and marked several areas on my body.

Thank you for sharing. I do wish you all the best, and it sounds like the prep work and planning that's going into this will make it a success! Just your friendly neighborhood ostomate.
