Susan W Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 My husband is newly diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in one lung. He has just started SBRT and is having moderate pain at the site. Is pain normal? He's only had one treatment. Any other side effects that are common?

Tom Galli Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Susan, Welcome here. I had SBRT treatment to a single tumor in my left lung. My procedures was performed over 3 consecutive days, and treatment time was about 30 minutes per cycle. I experienced no pain or side effects. I had a scan about 3 months after my treatment that showed the tumor to be "fried." I would think pain would be abnormal. But, it should be reported to the radiation technicians on the next treatment. Perhaps a consultation with your husband's radiation oncologist is in order. Stay the course.

Karen_L Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I'd encourage you to speak to the radiologist as soon as possible. Karen Tom Galli and LouT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
