Possible treatments other than surgery
Forums
My healthcare provider has been monitoring some nodules since 2016--GGO, and now a sub-solid nodule that has increased 6 mm in 2 years from 1.6 cm to 2.1 cm. Dr. says I'm too old for surgery (88 yrs. old) and wants me to decide if I want to go through chemo or do nothing since the cancer is slow growing. Afterall, at my age, I could die from other causes, anyway! No idea what type of lung cancer and won't have a needle biopsy unless going for chemo. No mention of possible immunotherapy or other therapies. My question is: What are the options of treatment for someone my age?
