Thank you for the replys, and thanks for the info too I had a thoracotomy and they managed to find one nodule that I didn’t know about and it was a met. The surgeon said he didn’t want to cut many bits out of a otherwise healthy lung. I was disappointed with this because the original surgeon I spoke...

Hi everyone, I’ve had 5 lung nodules in my right lung. I had sabr to 2 of them that were most likely to be Mets, the other 3 are between 4 ~ 7 mm and one has grown 1mm in a year. I’m almost at 2 years since diagnosis and more than a year post chemo. Has anyone had experience with stable nodules that...

Hope you’re recovering well from the surgery. Treatment sounds very interesting, really hope it works

Hey rob, because it’s spreading in the lymph nodes maybe getting chemo earlier is better to stop the spread and growth. Lung Mets grow slow and the chemo could have a good effect on them, if it doesn’t SABR the lung Mets once they’ve grown then you can get a possible immune response. If things conti...

Hi rob, I had sabr to 2 lung nodules not long ago. I had a positioning appointment before the treatment date where they positioned me on something like a bean bag and sucked all the air out. They also put 4 little tattoos so they can reposition the exact same way for treatment. I had no after effect...

Hi, I think You should get it checked straight away. Could be a dvt. Did the surgeons prescribe clexane after surgery.

Sorry for the setback, On to plan b. You’ve got a lot of knowledge about CRC treatments Im Sure you’ll be able to advocate for another type of treatment after sabr.

Hope your surgery is successful, looks like you have the best possible chance of getting through tomorrow successfully.

Hey man, good you still have options. Looks like you have a bit of time time with the lung Mets. I recently had a vats/thoracotomy to get my lung Mets cut out, but they could only find one and didn’t want to risk cutting healthy lung tissue out that didn’t have cancer so they took a few lymph nodes ...

I had a thoracotomy. Soon as the drain tube is out start walking as much as possible, I was walking an hour twice a day it’ll help the lung expand. I haven't noticed much difference in lung capacity, however climbing stairs I noticed I was getting short of breathe in the first couple of months. Coug...

These are tough choices. My thinking is you need some systemic treatment, I hate to recommend chemo but it’ll probably be worth it. If it’s possible get sabr/sbrt to the liver lesion and the node first for control then chemo for another mop up. The surgeons probably are risk averse with going in for...

Hope it’s operable rob. I’ve been following your journey, you have the knowledge to push your case forward. Sabr is the way to go for lung Mets, I pushed for mine to be cut out but they could only find one and they went thoracotomy rather than vats. I have an appointment with a radiation oncologist ...

How long did it take for your hair to change once finishing chemo? During chemo my hair thinned and mostly turned grey and white. It’s been about 3 months since I finished chemo.

Thank you. They went straight for a thoracotomy rather than than the vats. I had the surgery a week ago. The worst part was when the drain tube was in, but after they took it out the pain has been manageable with nsaids and paracetamol. I havnt noticed much change in lung function but I havnt been r...

Hi, just an update on my journey. I had a thoracotomy on my right lung on 1/9/21Wednesday. I was hoping for just a vats but they said they needed to go thoracotomy because the Mets were to small and they needed to feel for it. They gave me a paravertebre block and an oxycodeine pca. After the surger...
