Thank you for all the wonderful responses. I just had another scan last week and the fluid in my right pleural space decreased by 75 percent, so it is almost completely gone. The mass in my right middle lobe decrease by 33 percent. This is only .5 inches now. The only other area that has small activity is my mediastinal lymph node. My question is has anyone received radiation treatments in this situation. I wonder why we wouldn't try and kill as many cancer cells off as possible since the Alimta is working for me. My goal is to be NED!! Is this too aggressive or unheard of?
