[Cmtd]

Anyone experienced PDT photodynamic therapy for lung cancer of the BRONCHI?

I have just undergone the treatment at wythenshawe hospital.

Dear Cmtd

Welcome to the forum. Hope your treatment has gone well and I have placed some links below which you may find useful. You may have been provided with this information but have included it just in case.

As you probably know it is a light sensitive medicine and light source to destroy abnormal cells.
