brain and ?cardiac from lung cancer

Hi I have just had stereotactic radiotherapy for parital brain met ,good but anyoneknow how long recovery takes.Also anyone else out there got inoperable heart met and had any treatment for it which has changed things.Got my head around my grim situation just looking for time to be with my family .I had an upper right lobectomy 2015 adenocarcinoma poorly differetiated T2N2MX so it was never great ,but always  with curative intent,currently my oncologist is looking into the options includig radiotherapy to the heart .

  • Hi brewster, 

    I think your medical team will be in the best position to let you know how long recovery will take after having this kind of radiotherapy so do have a chat with them about this if you haven't had the chance to do so yet. Our cancer nurses may be able to give you some information about this as well so do give them a call. Their freephone number is 0808 800 4040, which is free to call from a UK landline and are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind Regards,
