I have been isolating during the Covid era due to CRC tumors in my lungs. Praying, fasting and regularly partaking of the Body & Blood of Christ. Have felt good.
But now the tumor has grown & conglomerated in my lung, trying to choke my airway. Causing me to cough-up mucus with blood. I need a CPAP machine at night to keep my oxygen levels up.
Wednesday I get my first IMRT radiation treatment. I hate that the Onc referred to this as Palliative care. I want to kill the cancer and move on with my life. I changed doctors and cancer center to get better attention.
Away from the Onc who said: " I don't cure cancer. I only treat it." Ideally I obtain the Abscopal Affect as well.
You who have had radiation to lung: Please offer what I should expect in impact.
I recall a post by a woman a few years ago who didn't exactly meet the specs to receive Immunotherapy: but was able to be treated with Ketruda and it worked to heal the cancer in her lung. I would love to hear from her.
The darn Oncs won't allow me to receive Ketruda or any PD1 inhibitor (which may well help, by my research) since I am MSS. They only give to those who show as microsatillite UNSTABLE.
I live by God's grace and hope for the best for you all as well.
