My cancer has returned a year after radiotherapy. Will I need chemotherapy this time
Hello and thanks for posting
I'm sorry your cancer has come back a year after your radiotherapy treatment.
Unfortunately, as nurses on here we cannot give a medical opinion or recommend treatments as we are not directly involved in your care.
It is best to ask the specialist team involved in your care what your treatment options will be. I would imagine that whether you will need chemotherapy treatment will depend on the extent ( how far the cancer has spread), the type of lung cancer you have, and your overall health and fitness levels.
We have some information on our website on how advanced lung cancer may be treated that you may find useful.
I hope you get more clarity on your situation soon.Give us a ring if you want to talk any of this over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
Kind regards,
Celene
