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.

This link is from the NHS on information on treatment with photodynamic therapy

This link is from Cancer Research UK:

This link is from Macmillan support :

If there is anything specific you would like to ask or discuss you can either email us at lungcancerhelp@roycastle.org or call our freephone nurse led helpline number on

Kind regards
