Pleased that you have some answers and they're coming up with a treatment plan- pan coast tumour is rare and usually at the top of the lung but usually treated in the same way as non small cell lung cancer. Non small cell lung cancer is treated in different ways dependent on a number of factors - sometimes using radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted agents and immunotherapy in combinations - as it's rare, probably best to discuss with her clinical team and once you know the names/types of treatment, then have a look at Roy Castle lung cancer foundation information about these and ask how others have found the treatments themselves. The majority of UK lung cancer patients are detected in a treatable but not curable position and the situation has changed considerably in recent years - unfortunately a lot of information that comes up on the internet if you google hasn't been updated or differentiated about factors that vary with patients so if you must look online, please use trusted sites that are updated regularly by clinicians like Roy Castle's. It's good that she's fit as that may help her cope better with treatments. good luck to you and your family.
