I had a 10 cm BAC mucinous removed from right lung in 2000 at age 46, never smoker. Around year 2012 I switched to yearly chest-rays which always came back OK. In 2021 (age 67) I had a chest CT which showed a new 2 cm spot in my lower left lobe. It tested as BAC mucinous, KRAS G12D, low PDL, low tumor burden, EGRF neg, Exon 20 pos. It had a 4.4 SUV on PET. I had it zapped with SBRT and it has gone away.

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?

Now I have chest pains and I can't breathe deeply, I don't cough, I haven't lost weight in the last year I did 6 chest x-rays, scales detected pulmonary sequelae from tuberculosis that I had 15 years ago plus spirometry that detected a mild restrictive syndrome but currently I have permanent chest pains and it's like I can't breathe deeply I also did cardiological investigations that except the heart, I don't know what else to do
