I had SABR recently for some liver mets, and I understand lung SABR is generally considered ‘easier’ than this as you have less GI upset to deal with (eg nausea vomiting). The hardest part is laying extremely still in a quite awkward position for a fairly long period (30+ mins) for each treatment, and doing the breathing exercises to keep the organs in the right place. Also the fatigue is REAL - I had never felt anything quite like that before (I would sweat from making myself a coffee). The good thing is you do recover pretty fast; within a couple of weeks a felt a LOT better, and within about 6 weeks I’d say I was basically over it. And the other good news is it’s usually very effective - everything they hit was dead on the next scan.
