41. It is non small cell cancer.

Nov 2023

My lung capacity is reduced because of the stereotactic radiation. It fried a lot of healthy cells around the tumor and I have a lot of shortness of breath that I did not have before. That area of my lung may never recover.

I hope you are right about the damaged blood vessels. I will do what the doctors recommend.

Thanks for your support.
