How to handle my rib pain?
I have had 2 rounds of SBRT on lower left posterior lung and upper left lung.

Hi Jeanne.13. Have you had a chance to discuss this rib pain with your doctors? I ask because there is a risk of chest wall injury after SBRT (for example see: https://www.redjournal.org/article/S0360-3016(1😎34022-7/pdf). Of course, there are other possible causes and only a doctor can provide the proper diagnostics. Wishing you the best. Richard (LungCancer.net Team)
My doctor warned me that it could happen before I had the first round of SBRT in July of 2019 I had the second round February of 2020. Shortly after the first round I started having pains in my left side so after several more CT scans and another pet scan they decided that it was damaged from the radiation
