Hello WN

I am sure some fellow HU members may be able to advise from a personal perspective. Response to treatment can vary from person to person. Our general information on radiotherapy can be found here: roycastle.org/lung-cancer/I...

If we can be of any further assistance please do call our helpline,

best wishes

Lorraine
