SABR for lung cancer

Has anyone had Sabr instead of surgery for lung cancer?

  • Hi Ditsydo and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I've had a quick look through the forum fand found that a member called   posted about having SABR therapy 8 months ago. Now that I've tagged them in this post, Salgo will hopefully stop by when they can to share their experiences with you but if it would help, you can also speak to one of our cancer nurses about this on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. Our nurses are very insightful and will do all they can to answer your questions.

    You can also find out more about SABR radiotherapy on our website.

    I hope this helps and all goes well with your treatment.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi, I had SABR therapy over three sessions. I felt fine after it but maybe eight weeks or so in I felt very tired. It lasted about six weeks . I'm feeling better now and although it didn't remove my nodule as I'd hoped, it has shrunk in size. It was pain free and the staff were very nice. I'll find out at my next scan how things are but I wouldn't worry ditsydo. I'll keep my fingers crossed all goes well for you and if I can help in any way, let me know
