I’m glad the bone scan came back fine!
How was the lung inflammation and radiation pneumonitis diagnosed? Did the doc just listen to your lungs?

Initial pneumonitis was diagnosed with an acute cough I started having. I was fatigue as well but attributed that to chemo since I was on kadcyla. It’s know unfortunately that kadcyla can cause pneumonitis when combined with radiation in about 2% of people. Unfortunately I happened to be in the 2%. Subsequent pneumonia would be triggered by sickness. Never had issues before my breast cancer diagnosis. I was healthy, exercise daily and keep up with regular exams.
