The immunotherapy and targeted drugs are so unpredictable in terms of what kind of side effects we'll experience. I'm not a candidate for radiation anymore and my oncologist is planning on starting me on Keytruda when another nodule starts (it looks like there's already another one becoming malignant). He wanted to wait until at least spring for my lungs to heal from the radiation because he said there's a much higher chance of getting pneumonitis with keytruda after radiation. It looks like I got it anyway.
