Hi 61yo/m with NSCLC

I just joined this sub a few days ago. I was admitted to the hospital on Monday April 20th. I had a collapsed lung with fluid in my chest. A chest tube was placed and the fluid drained. Since then every 3 to 4 days I'm putting out about 2 ltrs. After a number of CT Scans they still can't find the bleeder. They seem to think it's coming from one of the nodules.

The hospital I'm at doesn't have the capability of doing the next suggested procedure witch is "Emergency Radiation"

I'm new to terminology in the cancer community so sometimes I don't understand the abbreviations.

Here is my question:

Has anyone in this community have these issues? Has anyone had Emergency Radiation, as that's the option I'm looking at right now in real time.
